Join us for a discussion about how the fight against extremism can be won.
The U.S. and the world continues to face threats from extremism. ISIS and Al-Queda are well-known. Hate crimes continue to rise in the U.S. What should we do about it?
Farah Pandith, author of ‘How We Win – How Cutting-edge Entrepreneurs, Political Visionaries, Enlightened Business Leaders, and Social Media Mavens Can Defeat the Extremist Threat’ and Doron F. Ezickson, Regional Director of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) will provide insights into combating extremism domestically and abroad.
Farah Pandith served as a political appointee under Presidents George H.W. Bush, George W. Bush, and Barack Obama, and most recently she was the first-ever Special Representative to Muslim Communities, serving both Secretaries Hillary Clinton and John Kerry.

He is a trusted source of analysis and expertise on bias-motivated violence and extremism, relied upon by media outlets, legislators, and law enforcement to understand and respond to the state of hate in the region.
