What does ADL feel about churches and synagogues getting involved in campaigns?
As tax-exempt religious institutions, houses of worship are prohibited from any direct or indirect participation or intervention in any political campaign on behalf of (or in opposition to) any candidate for elective public office. This wise restriction has enabled religious institutions to flourish in this country, free from government interference or politicization. As a 501c3 tax-exempt organization, the Anti-Defamation League does not intervene in campaigns on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate for office.
