Alexander Friedfeld
Associate Director of Investigative Research, Anti-Defamation League (ADL)
2022
Alex Friedfeld is an Associate Director of Investigative Research with the ADL’s Center on Extremism, where he leads a research team that tracks a range of extremist groups and movements. To date, he has trained thousands of federal, state, and local law enforcement officers on a variety of extremism and domestic terrorism-related issues. He frequently represents the ADL on national and international outlets, including CNN, NBC, and the Guardian. Prior to joining the ADL, he worked as an analyst in the New York Police Department’s counterterrorism and intelligence bureaus where he monitored terrorist activity around the world and ran terrorism-related investigations in the city.
To me, Eradicate Hate was the most important gathering of 2021 for those of us who work on issues related to domestic extremism and organized hate. The Summit uniquely combined a variety of perspectives, including experts, civil society representatives, politicians and policymakers, and the families and loved ones of victims. Eradicate Hate has the important mission of standing against the rising tide of hate and extremism in our society, and it’s an honor to be able to support this mission.
