Tomorrow the third annual Women's March is scheduled in a number of cities around the country. But as
reported by Vox, concerns about anti-Semitism surround some leaders of the movement and has led to the withdrawal of sponsorship by groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center and, apparently, the Democratic National Committee:
[T]his year, the leaders of Women’s March Inc. — one of the organizations that grew out of the original march, and the most visible public face of the march today — are facing calls to step down. The reasons include criticisms of their association with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and allegations that they made anti-Semitic remarks in planning meetings.
Women’s March Inc. is a national organization led by four activists from New York City — Tamika Mallory, Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, and Bob Bland — who helped organize the first march in Washington, DC, in 2017. The group also has local chapters that are planning marches in cities around the country this year, though other local marches are not affiliated with Women’s March Inc.
