WASHINGTON, D.C. (Press Release) — ADL (the Anti-Defamation League) and the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference (NHCLC), the largest Latino Christian organization and affiliated with over 42,000 churches in the U.S., on Thursday announced a historic new partnership aimed at combating antisemitism and anti-Zionism, and deepening Latino-Jewish solidarity across communities of faith.
Through this new collaboration, the organizations will co-develop resources including faith-based educational content, digital campaigns, and launch advocacy efforts to counter antisemitism in all its forms—online, in the pews, and in the public square. Both organizations are dedicated to collaboration, seeded with the bonds of friendship, that will prepare and mobilize the Hispanic evangelical community to become a leading advocate against antisemitism for generations to come.
“As antisemitism rises in the United States and around the world, we must build bridges of unity and courage,” said Jonathan Greenblatt, CEO and National Director of ADL. “This partnership with NHCLC and its Hispanic Israel Leadership Coalition is a bold and necessary step that will empower Jewish and Latino evangelical communities, giving them a larger and stronger voice against hate.”
The joint initiative will include:
–The launch of a 12-month Antisemitism Awareness Curriculum for pastors, youth leaders, and congregants, including resources for K-12 private schools on understanding and resisting antisemitism.
–Multilingual social media campaigns and short-form videos focused on educating Gen Z and Millennials and sharing messages of unity.
–Faith-based resources, including sermon guides and prayer materials, promoting solidarity with Jewish communities.
–Prayer & Justice Gatherings including roundtable discussions across key states such as California, Florida, New York, Texas, and Washington DC.
–Advocacy efforts tied to advancing protection for houses of worship, anti-hate education, and greater safety for people of all faiths.
“Now more than ever, it is time for Hispanic evangelicals to stand arm-in-arm with our Jewish brothers and sisters,” said Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, President of the NHCLC. “Antisemitism is not just a Jewish issue, it is a moral and spiritual crisis that demands all communities respond with clarity, compassion, and conviction. We are proud to partner with ADL in this critical moment.”
This strategic alliance marks the first formal partnership of its kind between ADL and a national Latino evangelical body.
