Brooklyn has no place for hate. That
was the message delivered by Borough
President Adams and the Anti-Defamation
League (ADL) during a joint
press conference in November. As anti
Semitic attacks continue to surge
throughout the borough, a coalition of
elected offi cials and advocates came to
Brooklyn Borough Hall to hail the expansion
of an initiative that provides
anti-bias education in schools across
the city. During the press conference,
Borough President Adams urged leaders
not to let the “weeds of hate” infi ltrate
Brooklyn’s “garden of diversity,”
and thanked the ADL for their partnership
in fi ghting all forms of bias.
DECEMBER EVENTS
Since the AIDS virus fi rst materialized
in the early 1980s, millions of people
— including thousands in Brooklyn
— have succumbed to this disease.
As a strong advocate for public health
in Brooklyn and beyond, Borough
President Adams was proud to co-host
a 31st Annual World AIDS Day event
at Brooklyn Borough Hall in partnership
with Visiting Nurse Service. The
event featured free HIV testing, guest
speakers, giveaways, and more.
