ADL walks against hate
Participants in the 2019 Walk Against Hate (courtesy ADL) The Anti-Defamation League asks the LGBTQ community to walk with them to oppose hate DAVID TAFFET | Senior Staff Writertaffet@dallasvoice.com Founded 110 years ago to oppose anti-Semitism, the Anti-Defamation League tracks hate crimes and works to fulfill one of its founder’s visions — that those who seemed different are not targets of discrimination and threats but are seen as equals.
In support of the LGBTQ community, the ADL filed an amicus brief in the Obergefell marriage equality case and has spoken out strongly against LGBTQ oppression in Russia and other countries around the world.
And in Texas, ADL representatives have testified before the Legislature on the state’s anti-bullying law and against anti-transgender legislation.
On Sunday, April 3, ADL’s Dallas office holds its Walk Against Hate at the American Airlines Center. Registration and T-shirt pick-up begins at 8 a.m.
