As part of our SRZ Speaker Series, we were honored to host a special conversation with Jonathan Greenblatt, the CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL). Moderated by SRZ partners David Wermuth and Julian Wise, the discussion focused on anti-Semitism, extremism and discrimination. The invaluable insights that Jonathan shared included:

  • We have to interrupt intolerance before it becomes something else.
  • Don’t eject, embrace. Follow counsel culture, not cancel culture.
  • As an ally, follow the three S’s: Speak Up (interject and interrupt intolerance), Share Facts (dial down drama) and Show Strength (play a part when it is about someone else).

SRZ has been a longstanding partner of ADL and we encourage you to read Jonathan’s book, It Could Happen Here: Why America is Tipping from Hate to the Unthinkable―and How We Can Stop It.
