ADL San Diego

We’re moving accounts! Our ADL San Diego office is staying put, but we are joining our friends at ADL’s five California offices. Follow us @ADLCalifornia to keep up with our efforts fighting hate in San Diego and Imperial Counties.

We applaud the House for passing @BillPascrell & @RepMcCaul's amendment increasing funding for the Nonprofit Security Grant Program, which provides critical support to protect houses of worship and at-risk nonprofits. We call on the Senate to support increased funding as well.

California is on the verge of equipping itself with new tools in the fight against hate. Legislation like AB 1079 (@AsmCoreyJackson), which declares hate a public health issue and establishes a Hate Crimes Intervention Unit, and AB 1185 (@JesseGabrielCA), which expands the eligibility for the state's Nonprofit Security Grant Program to ensure the safety of a large network of at-risk institutions.

San Diego Jewish Leaders Joint Statement on Hate Speech in City Council Meeting.

Comments like the ones at yesterday's City Council are unacceptable and grotesque. Incidents of hate like these are exactly the reason why I will continue to speak up and speak out against anti-Semitic, anti-LGBTQ, anti-Black, anti-AAPI, and anti-immigrant hate.

Thank you @CD4Monica, @JoeLaCavaD1, @CMJenCampbell, @CMWhitburnD3, @marnivonwilpert, @CMKentLee, @CMRaulCampillo, @vivianmorenoSD, @SeanEloRiveraD9

A statement from ADL San Diego on hate espoused during the September 18th City Council meeting.

Hate speech during Council Meetings is completely unacceptable, and will not be tolerated. My complete statement:

📢 NUEVO: El vilipendio de los sionistas y las expresiones de apoyo a la violencia y a las organizaciones terroristas caracterizaron la actividad antiisraelí en los campus universitarios de EEUU entre junio 2022 y julio 2023: adl.org/es/resources/p…

Our new colleague @MarcLevine is a welcomed ally in the fight against hate in our Golden State!

As my colleague @James_Pasch explains, “It’s clear that the Santa Ana Unified School District violated the law in their rush to approve antisemitic content within their ethnic studies curriculum.” Proud of @ADL's role in this important case to protect the Jewish community & ensure their voices will be heard.

As part of a coalition including @brandeiscenter, @AJCGlobal and @PotomacLawGroup, and supported by @StandWithUs, we filed a lawsuit against the Santa Ana school district in Orange County to stop antisemitic content from being taught in schools. Read more: adl.org/resources/pres…
