    BOSTON, April 8, 2008, 2008 /PRNewswire-USNewswire via COMTEX/ -- The
    Anti-Defamation League (ADL) said it was "disappointed" by today's
    decision of the board of the Massachusetts Municipal Association
    (MMA) to end its sponsorship of ADL's No Place for Hate initiative,
    but said the campaign continues to flourish in Massachusetts and
    throughout New England.

    The ADL New England Region released the following statement:

    While we are disappointed in the decision of the MMA board, it does
    not affect our growing and vital No Place for Hate Community Network.

    We are proud to work with an increasing number of students, parents,
    law enforcement officials, clergy, cultural groups and others to
    ensure that our communities are welcoming and safe for all.

    We recently expanded No Place for Hate into a community-based network
    serving all of New England. Through this network, we are working with
    local community leaders to create sustainable initiatives that fight
    prejudice and bigotry and inspire a new generation towards respect
    and understanding.

    Through hundreds of community-based programs annually, ADL works
    with thousands of individuals to create inclusive action against
    intolerance and hate. ADL is committed to providing the resources
    and infrastructure necessary to ensure that, together, we can combat
    hatred and build respect across New England.

    The Anti-Defamation League, founded in 1913, is the world's leading
    organization fighting anti-Semitism through programs and services
    that counteract hatred, prejudice, and bigotry.
