ANTI-DEFAMATION LEAGUE TO HOLD STATE-WIDE “NO PLACE FOR HATE DAY” ON

SEPTEMBER 15TH

The Anti-Defamation League is proud to announce that September 15th will be the inaugural ADL Florida No Place For Hate Day.

For nearly 104 years, the Anti-Defamation League has broken many barriers and bridged many obstacles. The demand for ADL's resources and skills, to help individuals and communities to confront, challenge, combat and counteract bigotry is higher than at any time in recent memory.

“Today’s challenges call for a strong response. One voice is not enough. In the spirit of unity, we will declare as Floridians that hate will be challenged whenever and wherever it manifests,” said Sheri Zvi, ADL Florida Regional Director. “The most effective response to hate speech is civil speech, and more of it. Extremist groups have doubled-down on making social media a platform for indoctrinating others. On September 15th, let’s flood social media with anti-bias images and messages, highlighting that the entire State of Florida will be No Place For Hate.”

We invite schools, officials, community and religious institutions, businesses, and others to take part in a state-wide call to action - our inaugural ADL Florida No Place For Hate Day - on September 15th. We are asking participants to:

1) Invite staff, colleagues, students, or constituents to wear a No Place For Hate pin or sticker. Limited quantities are available from ADL while supplies last; contact ADL at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or 561-988-2900 for more details on how to print them on your own.

2) Amplify the impact of No Place For Hate Day by taking pictures and post them on social media using #NoPlaceForHate on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. Tweet @ADL_Florida or ADL_Florida on Instagram, and/or mention ADL Florida in your Facebook post.

3) Collect proceeds to benefit ADL’s work of standing up to bigotry and extremism – with personal or company online fundraising, dress-down Friday collections, or other innovative ways to spread the message against hate (donations can be made here).

4) You can find ADL educational and anti-bias resources here, including resources for educators, parents, and families, curricula, family ‘table-talk’ guides, and more.

The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is one of the nation’s premier human relations and civil rights organizations, fighting anti-Semitism and bigotry of all kinds.
