Per the State of Maryland: Governor Wes Moore today attended the 2023 Anti-Defamation League National Leadership Summit in Washington, D.C.. The governor participated in a plenary discussion with Chief Executive Officer and Anti-Defamation League National Director Jonathan Greenblatt about standing up to antisemitism and hate; the role of education in protecting against extremism; and working together to reduce hate, improve public safety, and ensure that hate has no home in Maryland.
“The recent rise in antisemitic incidents in Maryland is unacceptable,” said Gov. Moore. “We need to stand up and make it known that hate has no place in our state.
