Anti-Defamation League

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) is a Jewish NGO based in the US that advocates against antisemitism as well as other forms of extremism.

It was formed in 1913 following the lynching of Leo Frank in Georgia, and in the years since, it has advocated for civil rights. 

The ADL continues to fight against American antisemitism and all forms of extremism, keeping tabs on acts of white supremacy throughout the US. 

Today, the organization is headed by Jonathan Greenblatt.
