Anti-Defamation League

The Anti-Defamation League (or ADL) is an American organization set up by B'nai B'rith whose aim is "to stop, by appeals to reason and conscience and, if necessary, by appeals to law, the defamation of the Jewish people. Its ultimate purpose is to secure justice and fair treatment to all citizens alike and to put an end forever to unjust and unfair discrimination against and ridicule of any sect or body of citizens." http://www.adl.org/main_about_adl.asp
