The Anti-defamation League, formerly known as the Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith, is an international Jewish non-governmental organization based in the United States. It was founded in late September 1913 by the Independent Order of B’nai B’rith, a Jewish service organization, in the wake of the contentious conviction for the murder of Leo Frank. ADL split from B’nai B’rith and continued as an independent non-profit. ADL states that its mission is a dual one: “To stop the defamation of the Jewish people, and to secure justice and fair treatment to, “via the development of “new programs, policies, and skills to expose and combat whatever holds us back.” with a focus on coating antisemitism and other forms of hate, and fighting domestic extremism both online and off, ADL describes its “ultimate goal” as “a world in which no group or individual suffers from bias, discrimination fo hate.” In 2018, ADL rebranded itself as an “anti-hate” organization and adopted the logo: “Fighting Hate for Good.”

American Family Association, a Christian fundamentalist organization, created One Million Moms and One Million Dads, two websites with the stated goal of mobilizing parents to “stop the exploitation of children by the media. It uses these websites to organize boycotts and urge activists to send emails to mainstream companies employing advertising, selling products, or advertising on television shows they find offensive. In 2021, the group started and then backed off from a failed campaign against the hiring of talk show host Ellen DeGeneres as a spokesperson for department store chain J.C. Penny. They opposed her employment on the grounds that DeGeneres is “an open homosexual”.
The One Million Moms campaign expressed opposition to Marvel and DC Comics issues which featured gay characters, describing the storylines as a “brainwashing and desensitizing experience” for children, written to “influence them in thinking that a gay lifestyle choice is normal and desirable.”
