Testimonials
The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is the world's leading organization combating antisemitism, exposing hate groups, training law enforcement on hate crimes, developing anti-bias curricula for students, countering cyber-hate and relentlessly pursuing equal rights for all.
ADL was founded in 1913, and the ADL Mountain States Region, serving Colorado, New Mexico and Wyoming, was created in 1941 by a dedicated group of community leaders as the first regional office in the US. Over the 85 years, we work to combat hatred and bigotry by being true to our mission "to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all."
We do this in the following ways:
• Education programs that empower students to stand up and speak out against antisemitism (Words to Action) and promote and sustain an anti-bias and anti-bullying school community (No Place for Hate ®);
• Combatting antisemitism that affects our cities, communities and campuses- while also exposing antisemitic words and actions;
• Providing hate crimes training for law enforcement and new cadets
• Holocaust awareness and education for all;
• Standing up for victims of discrimination and hate crimes, while also advocating for stronger hate crime legislation in our region;
• Advocating for a world that prioritizes equality for all, regardless of religion, gender, race, ethnicity, or sexual orientation.
We commit ourselves to never stopping to fight hate for good- we hope you will join us by supporting ADL Mountain States on Colorado Gives Day!
