Demand Justice and Financial Compensation for Victims of Oct 7
Oct. 7 was one of the deadliest days for Jews since the Holocaust. Families slaughtered in their beds. Women dragged lifeless by their hair, violated in front of crowds. Join ADL in telling Congress to pass the American Victims of Terrorism Act so that victims and families of terrorism receive justice – and financial compensation for what they endured.

Urge NY Lawmakers to Protect Jewish College Students
Be a part of the fight to protect college students from antisemitic hatred. Across New York campuses, we have seen an unprecedented number of antisemitic incidents making Jewish students feel less safe. Two new bills attempt to combat this problem by requiring colleges to have a Title VI coordinator and strengthening protections for college students against discrimination. Join ADL and urge your state legislators to support these vital bills.

Demand Cable Companies Condemn Kanye’s Antisemitic Super Bowl Ad
At the Super Bowl, hate took a front-row seat. Kanye West promoted an ad with a link to swastika t-shirts, broadcasting it to millions on live TV. Just days earlier, his dangerous rants on X praised Hitler, self-identified as a Nazi, and spread antisemitic vitriol. Join the ADL in demanding that cable providers who aired the ad, including Nexstar, condemn it and never give hate a platform again.

Tell Congress to Protect Jewish Students on Campus
Antisemitism on campus is painful. It’s waking up to swastikas on dorm buildings. It’s students in masks disrupting Jewish history classes, banging on drums. It’s protestors chanting hateful slogans in the quad. It’s the silence of universities when hate is so loud. Join ADL in telling Congress to pass the Protecting Students on Campus Act so Jewish students can speak up — and respond to incidents on campus.

Urge the White House to Make Good on Their Promises to Fight Campus Antisemitism
Jewish students do not feel safe on campus. The White House is taking action to combat campus antisemitism.

The order strengthens protections against harassment and intimidation while promoting a more secure future for Jewish students. Join ADL in encouraging President Trump to combat antisemitism by implementing the new Executive Order while safeguarding civil liberties.

Urge President Trump to Protect Jewish Institutions
The Nonprofit Security Grant Program (NSGP) is in jeopardy. Funding to thousands of places of worship, community centers and religious schools rely on this life-saving program.

Join ADL in urging the White House to keep the Nonprofit Security Grant Program off the chopping block.

Urge Your Governor to Fight Antisemitism

Tell Congress to Improve Holocaust Education Across the Country
From elementary school hallways to college quads, Jewish students are facing a rising tide of hatred. Teaching the next generation about the history of the Holocaust is key to addressing antisemitism. Yet, only 30% of parents reported that their child's school offered Holocaust education. Urge Congress to pass the HEAL Act so the federal government can assess Holocaust education nationally and we can then address what's missing.

Stop Extremists from Sharing Our Personal Information Online
This act, known as doxing, can result in death threats, hate mail and feeling unsafe in the home or workplace.

Expose and End Masked Hate
A disturbing wave of antisemitic and harassing behavior has surged through our communities and college campuses, with a troubling pattern: many perpetrators hide behind masks, evading accountability while deliberately placing targeted individuals in fear for their physical safety.

Join ADL in urging your state lawmakers to act now to unmask hate.

Urge State Lawmakers to Unmask Hate
It's time to reinstate and strengthen state masked intimidation laws to counter the alarming trend of antisemitic and harassing behavior by masked agitators.

Tell Associated Press to Label Hamas as a Terrorist Group
The Associated Press (AP) serves as a prominent force in news, offering reliable content and setting standards for reporters globally.
