2023, 2024
Kelly Berkell, J.D., is the Executive Director of the Center on American Law and Extremism (CALE), a New York-based nonprofit organization. She is also a Senior Research Fellow at the Center on Terrorism, John Jay College of Criminal Justice, and an adjunct professor in John Jay’s Criminal Justice Masters Program. She has developed guidance on legal and compliance considerations for practitioners working to prevent targeted violence, and her research on the intersection of the U.S. criminal justice system with the prevention of extremist violence has been published in various outlets, including the Harvard National Security Journal and Journal for Deradicalization.
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.
