ADL is excited to announce our Fall Event Calendar! In the fall, please join us for ADL’s Walk Against Hate, Never Is Now Summit and ADL In Concert Against Hate. You can also get involved throughout the year by attending our webinar series Fighting Hate From Home or an event in your community.
On October 10, step up with your families, friends, colleagues, teammates and communities for ADL’s virtual Walk Against Hate. Join individuals, corporations, non-profits, students, educators and more from across the country to speak out against bias and bigotry of all kinds. No matter how you participate, join ADL and show how you fight hate for good.
November 7-9, join thousands of experts, members of the community, business leaders and students for Never Is Now, the world's largest annual summit on antisemitism and hate. Never Is Now is the best way to learn about and discuss contemporary drivers of antisemitism and hate and find out how you can take action in combating bias of all kinds.
On November 21, celebrate with ADL supporters from across the country and around the world to share a night of music and inspiration honoring real-life heroes in the fight against injustice, extremism and hate of all kinds. Building on a more than 25-year tradition, we will lift up ordinary people who perform extraordinary acts of courage and compassion when confronted by hatred and bigotry and show our strength as a community fighting hate for good.

Noah Ricardo Green was shot and killed by police on April 2, 2021 after he allegedly rammed a car into a barricade at the U.S. Capitol, and then exited his vehicle with a knife, attacking and killing United States Capitol police officer William Evans and wounding another officer.
The motivation for the attack is still under investigation, but according to a report by the Washington Post, many of his family and friends regarded him as “unmoored from reality” and suffering symptoms “that could have been related to drugs or mental illness,” including paranoia and suicidal thoughts.
Family and friends also noted Green’s religious fervor, which had emerged in recent years. Green’s social media posts indicate that he was an ardent follower of the Nation of Islam (NOI) and deeply revered its longtime leader, Louis Farrakhan, a figure of considerable controversy for his rabid and unapologetic hostility to Jews as well as his frequent invocations of wild conspiracy theories.
