WHAT WE DO
ADL is the leading anti-hate organization in the world. Founded in 1913, its timeless mission is “to stop the defamation of the Jewish people and to secure justice and fair treatment to all.” Today, ADL continues to fight all forms of antisemitism and bias, using innovation and partnerships to drive impact. A global leader in combating antisemitism, countering extremism, and battling bigotry wherever and whenever it happens, ADL works to protect democracy and ensure a just and inclusive society for all.
The Anti-Defamation League’s (ADL) Central Pacific Region, based in San Francisco, serves Northern California, Utah, and Hawai’i. As the premier civil rights and human relations agency, ADL makes your voice heard. For over 40 years in the Bay area, ADL has provided unparalleled expertise in the fields of combatting antisemitism, investigating, and monitoring extremism, anti-bias education, and advocacy. In these turbulent times, ADL’s impact is unmatched:
- Serving tens of thousands of local students, educators, and parents each year through award-winning education programs, such as No Place for Hate, designed to reduce bias in schools.
- Working in close partnership with law enforcement to identify and track hate crimes and to keep our communities secure.
- Responding to hundreds of antisemitic, extremism, bias, bigotry, or hate, incident reports from community members, working to help victims in the aftermath of hate.
- Building coalitions with partner organizations throughout the Central Pacific Region to find meaningful solutions to combatting all forms of hate.
WHO WE ARE
We are committed to being a highly effective and contemporary organization that achieves long-term success through our culture and talent. We value and foster a culture of innovation, collaboration, respect, courage, accountability, and inclusivity. And we mean it. A full 50% of every ADL team member’s performance rating, starting at the top of the organization, is determined by demonstration of the ADL values.
We hold quarterly “all hands” meetings to share information, provide recognition and answer questions. Our Chief of Staff holds weekly office hours via Zoom to which everyone is invited, and no questions are off limits. All staff have access to hundreds of online classes taught by top instructors through LinkedIn Learning and have free, unlimited, on-demand access to professional coaching services through Bravely. We are committed to a diverse, inclusive, and equitable work culture and have a full-time Director of Culture and DEI, along with five Employee Resource Groups, a DEI Committee, and both mandatory and voluntary DEI educational opportunities.
In respect of our colleagues who observe Shabbat, we close at 3:00 pm (local time) on Fridays throughout the year and do not work during Shabbat. To give ourselves some space at the end of the week to think and work on projects, we encourage no meetings on Fridays.
OUR LEADERSHIP
Under the dynamic leadership of our CEO, Jonathan Greenblatt, a serial social entrepreneur and change agent, ADL has been invigorated with new approaches, ideas, and energy. We remain deeply committed to our mission and take great pride in our 100-plus-year history of influence and impact.
