Alex Freeman is currently serving as the Director of Sports Engagement at the Anti-Defamation League (ADL), where he leverages the power of sports to promote inclusion, combat antisemitism, and address hate both on and off the field. With over eight years of experience in media, social strategy, and crisis communications, Alex seeks to build impactful partnerships with major sports leagues and organizations to fight antisemitism and hate.
In this role, Alex leads initiatives that connect ADL’s mission with global sports platforms. He oversees key collaborations with team and league partners, focusing on educational programs and resources designed to equip athletes, fans and professionals with the tools to counter hate in sports.
Before joining ADL, Alex oversaw the social media efforts at the American Jewish Committee, where he managed the social media presence and managed rapid response initiatives. His career began in broadcast journalism, working as a producer, covering major events like the Super Bowl and presidential debates.
The grandson of a Holocaust survivor and raised by sports-loving, Philadelphian parents, Alex is proud to bring together his lifelong love of sports and commitment to Jewish advocacy in his work every day.

The Eradicate Hate Global Summit brings together scholars, practitioners, civil society organizations, and policymakers from around the world to share best practices and lessons learned, based on data and empirical evidence, in countering hate-fueled extremism and violent narratives. No other summit, conference, or workshop brings together such an extraordinary group of world-class talent focused on dealing with the issue of hate-fueled violent extremism.
