The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B'nai B'rith,[a] is an international Jewish non-governmental organization based in the United States that specializes in civil rights law and combats antisemitism and extremism.[4][5]

It was founded in late September 1913 by the Independent Order of B'nai B'rith, a Jewish service organization, in the wake of the contentious murder conviction of Leo Frank. ADL subsequently split from B'nai B'rith and continued as an independent US section 501(c)(3) nonprofit. Its CEO is Jonathan Greenblatt, who succeeded Abraham Foxman in July 2015. Foxman had served in the role since 1987.

ADL headquarters are located in Murray Hill, in the New York City borough of Manhattan. The ADL has 25 regional offices in the United States[6] including a Government Relations Office in Washington, DC, as well as an office in Israel and staff in Europe.[7] In its 2019 annual information Form 990, ADL reported total revenues of $92 million, the vast majority from contributions and grants.[8] Its total operating revenue is reported at $80.9 million.[9]

In an early campaign, ADL and allied groups pressured the automaker Henry Ford, who had published virulently antisemitic propaganda.[10][4] In the 1930s, ADL worked with the American Jewish Committee (AJC) to oppose pro-Nazi activity in the United States.[11][5] It opposed McCarthyism during the Cold War,[4] and campaigned for major civil rights legislation in the 1960s.[4][5] In the 1980s, it was involved in propaganda against Nelson Mandela of South Africa before embracing him the following decade.[12][13] The ADL did not recognize the Armenian genocide until 2007, instead calling it a "massacre" and an "atrocity" in years prior.[14][15] As a pro-Israel group, the ADL has opposed views critical of the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, bringing it into conflict with activists sympathetic towards the Palestinians.[16][5] The ADL is a proponent of the idea of new antisemitism[17] that includes anti-Zionism;[18] the latter's inclusion has been the subject of debate.[19]
