While hate crimes in Chicago fell by 25%, anti-Jewish hate crimes rose 58%, accounting for nearly 38% of all hate crimes. That’s staggering, when Jews make up just 3% of the city’s population. This crisis demands action—from leaders, educators & all of us. chicago.gov/city/en/depts/…
The swastika is a symbol of hate. We are sickened by the vandalism throughout Little Village this weekend. Words matter and they lead to despicable acts like this. We have been in touch with local officials to offer support. We can’t allow hate to win. chicagotribune.com/2025/07/20/lit…
As NYC heads to a general mayoral election, the Jewish community is on edge. Candidates and the people surrounding them have used language playing into dangerous antisemitic canards that time and time again have been used to incite hatred and violence against Jews. Today, we…
ADL is closely monitoring President Trump’s announcement of the United States’ strike on the Iranian regime’s nuclear sites. Since 1979, the Iranian regime has been the largest exporter of antisemitism and terror on the planet. The Iranian regime and its proxies have murdered…
We are sickened by this antisemitic incident in Highland Park and have been supporting the homeowners, law enforcement, USPS and local clergy throughout the evening. The investigation is on-going and we will share more when possible. myemail.constantcontact.com/Community-Advi…
The @ADL Center on Extremism is actively monitoring the situation in Minnesota and ADL staff in the state have been in touch with law enforcement and local leaders all morning. Our full statement:
Thank you @AldReilly for naming it: "In recent months, the escalation of antisemitic violence has been horrifying. These are not online threats or symbolic protests - they are physical, targeted and fueled by a vicious ideology masquerading as activism." chicagotribune.com/2025/06/12/opi…
Nine acts of terrorism have targeted members of the Jewish community in the last year. Our friend and colleague Jay Tcath from @ChicagoJCRC shows how the phrase "Free Palestine" is being politicized, exploited, and used as "a license to kill" by some. chicagotribune.com/2025/06/10/opi…
🚨Pro-terror Telegram accounts are sharing videos allegedly recorded by the Boulder attack suspect before the firebombing. ADL hasn’t independently verified them—but the response is clear: many are celebrating this antisemitic attack. adl.org/resources/arti…
Our latest update.
The ADL Center on Extremism has reviewed videos from the scene in Boulder, Colorado. We believe we hear the suspect saying: “How many children you killed?” “We have to end Zionists.” “They are killers.” We are continuing to learn more and will update accordingly.
Thanks to your generosity, ADL education programs help schools respond to hate & antisemitism. Visit adl.org/impact or contact our regional office to support our advocacy, education & investigative work to build a more just & inclusive society. youtu.be/P7d7a22zZyo?si…
Details are emerging on the alleged D.C. Museum shooter, Elias Rodriguez, after the latest attack on the Jewish community last night. The ADL Center on Extremism found the suspect's alleged manifesto calling to 'escalate for Gaza' and additional info following the killings of 2…
This would be commendable if @ChicagosMayor didn't repeatably appoint individuals who are openly hostile toward the Jewish community in the first place. We have an Administration that doesn't care about the impact its actions have on the clear majority of Jews in Chicago.
Update: Ishan Daya is pulling out of the group. "In the interest of the work to support a budget that advances the needs of working class folks in this city, Julie Dworkin will be the representative for the Institute for the Public Good."
Thanks to our generous donors and volunteers, students who participated in the No Place For Hate Program will receive some great swag—coming this week to a #NoPlaceForHate school near you!

Bigotry killed young Wadee and we remain heartbroken by this unspeakable hate crime. Today's sentencing will hopefully bring some closure and justice to his family. We also hope it will fuel the need to end hate and bigotry in all our communities. chicagotribune.com/2025/05/02/jos…
#YomHaShoah is a day to immerse ourselves in remembrance. It is a solemn day on which we commemorate the 6 million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust. Each and every one had a name and a story. Now it is our job to ensure their stories are never forgotten.
Midwest Regional Director @dgoldenb5 in Indianapolis today noted, "You will be hard pressed to find anyone in the Jewish community who has not experienced antisemitism first hand or knows someone who has. It's no more than one degree of separation." indystar.com/story/news/202…
