ADL: From Insurrection to Inauguration and Beyond

Chai Neighbors, a Synagogue Village in the San Fernando Valley,
Invites us to Join Them For a Discussion of
The 2021 Social and Political Landscape

Joanna Mendelson, the Los Angeles based associate director of Anti-Defamation League, will discuss the challenges facing us in 2021 and what the ADL is doing to address extremist ideologies, the rise and influence of conspiracy theories such as QAnon, and multiple disinformation platforms . She will address the Jan 6th violence at the Capitol in Washington DC, how antisemitism and conspiracy theories fueled the action and what might be next.
