International treaties, agreements, and alliances are the result of diplomatic negotiations that represent a country’s most important goals. But what really happens behind the curtain? And how have the Jewish people been involved in formal and informal diplomacy? Hear the inside perspective of how diplomacy works between the U.S. and Latin America through a Jewish lens.

On October 12, Facebook announced a major policy change, banning all Holocaust denial and distortion from the world's largest social network. The announcement, which represented a significant shift in the company's hate speech policy, came after lengthy discussions with AJC and other stakeholders. Join us for this exclusive conversation between Monika Bickert, Facebook's Vice President of Content Policy, and AJC CEO David Harris on how Facebook determines what content is and is not permitted and what it is doing to keep its platform free of antisemitism and all forms of hate.
