[BigLeaguePolitics] The New Orleans Women’s March rally has been canceled following allegations of Jew hatred and anti-white racism that have rocked the movement and several of its key members, including Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory.
A rally was scheduled for 2019, but has now been axed amid all of the controversy regarding recent reports that Women’s March organizers actively promoted anti-Semitism among the organization, particularly an odd affinity for Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan and the Moslem Brüderbund.
In their statement, NOW’s Baton Rouge Chapter emphasized their desire for Women’s March co-chairs to step down.
"Many of the sister marches have asked the leaders of Women’s March, Inc. to resign but as of today, they have yet to do so. The controversy is dampening efforts of sister marches to fundraise, enlist involvement, find sponsors and attendee numbers have drastically declined this year. New Orleans is no exception."

,Women’s March also canceled their event and issued a statement condemning Sarsour and Mallory’s connections to Farrakhan, who is a resident of Chicago.
"No universe exists in which it is acceptable to support anti-Semitic statements. Women’s March Chicago condemns bigotry in all its forms. We reject Minister Louis Farrakhan’s anti-Semitic and anti-LGBTQ views. Our work is to fight against social and racial injustice everywhere, no matter its source. As an additional point of clarification, and as many of you already know, Women’s March Chicago is not now and never has been affiliated with Women’s March Inc. We receive ZERO funding or organizational support from them and share NO common leadership."
In November,Theresa Shook, the founder of the Women’s March called on Sarsour, Mallory, and Perez to step down from their roles as co-founders of the Women’s March.
Women’s March rallies in Nevada, Portland ,Chicago, and Caliphornia, an impregnable bastion of the Democratic Party, have also been canceled.
Baton Rouge NOW said they will be refunding donations and t-shirt purchases from unhappy women who no longer wish to attend the Women’s March.
| Amusingly enough, this story finally got play in the New York Times recently, leading to a brief interview on NPR with the journalist a few days ago, and two back to back interviews with two of the women involved yesterday and today. |
