Incident Response and Prevention
ADL Orange County/Long Beach (ADL OC) mobilizes to triage and respond to antisemitic and other hate incidents. Incident response activities fall into three intertwined strategies: customized incident response, community engagement/education, and allyship with all our neighbors. Our theory of change is that hate is learned. Therefore, we are committed to changing hearts and minds in the next generation with anti-bullying and anti-bias education programs for K-12 schools.
In 2022, ADL Orange County/Long Beach:
• Responded to an overwhelming 202 hate incident reports; an increase of 36% over last year;
• Reached 60,345 students at 65 schools through No Place for Hate in the 2022-2023 school year; and engaged 2,800 faculty and staff total in A World of Difference across the schools;
• Co-produced Driving Out Darkness: Orange County Summit on Antisemitism and Hate -- a one-day, immersive learning experience for 300 leaders across all sectors of our community, including civic, government, non-profit, faith-based, education, media, and law enforcement; and
• Led the passing of the AB587, The Social Media Transparency Bill, which requires social media platforms to publicly disclose their community guidelines and report data around hate, harassment, misinformation, disinformation, foreign interference, and the enforcement of their policies.
