To stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to secure justice and fair treatment to all. Serving eastern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey, & Delaware
ADL joined partners at @phillyjcrc of @JFedinPhilly and @AJCGlobal for Advocacy Day in Harrisburg, meeting with legislators and @GovernorShapiro to combat antisemitism, strengthen nonprofit security grants and advance buffer zone legislation.
We are grateful to @PAAttorneyGen, @RepDanFrankel, and @SenJudySchwank for standing up against hate and using their voices to protect our communities. Their courage reminds us that when leaders speak out, they demonstrate that antisemitism has no place in our society. Thank you for your leadership and moral courage.
Last month, I talked about the need to speak out against antisemitism when it is seen. Today, I feel compelled to do just that.
The mailing deployed in a Lehigh/Bucks county state senate race was antisemitic. Its language and use of an Israeli flag that targeted a Jewish state senator inappropriately suggests disloyalty to America.
That is the type of antisemitic action and rhetoric that must be called out, condemned and shunned.
I released the following statement with
@SenJudySchwank, as cochairs of the PA Legislative Jewish Caucus, in reference to the materials arriving in folks' mailboxes in the Lehigh Valley

Experiencing hate can be traumatic and confusing.
After a man appeared at a rally in a Nazi uniform, we coordinated with law enforcement, assessed the risk, and supported the community with safety guidance.
We remain vigilant—working every day to confront hate and support those impacted.

In October, a Catholic school parade float depicted the gates of Auschwitz—turning real tragedy into decoration. We partnered with local Catholic leadership to address this through education and action. We don’t fight hate with hate— we fight hate with knowledge.
