beast tablet: This weekend, the third women's march on Washington, with corresponding local marches in cities across the United States, will be taking place, but it risks being overshadowed by the storm of criticism that has arisen about alleged antisemitic rhetoric within the group's leadership and investigations by the Daily Beast and Tablet into the possible mishandling of funds, according to The Independent. In this moment of suspicion and doubt, as donors, followers and sponsors all reconsider whether it is wise to be publicly associated with an organization whose leaders refuse to distance itself from a man who spouts conspiracy theories about Jews running the financial systems of the world and being responsible for the American slave trade, particularly during a time of increased antisemitic hate crimes and violent attacks, we should also look at what it is exactly that the Women's March does. Once heralded for organizing the single largest protest in America's history, now the only thing anyone wants to talk about is the leaders' association with antisemitic, homophobic, transphobic Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. The March, in order to have mass appeal and palatability, seems to be focusing its attention on empty slogans The Women's March Inc pulls in millions of dollars in donations and is one of the most visible advocacy groups for women possibly second only to Planned Parenthood, which has decided to stand by its embattled partner in this time of struggle so what has it actually accomplished Since its inception, Women's March has faced criticism by many within the feminist community. Otherscalled the organization out for not having any real agenda, and for focusing solely on what it was against the Trump administration and Republican control of Congress and not what it was for. The March and its participants, we heardfrommanycritics, marginalized Native women, disabled women, women of color, trans women and Jewish women to present a very safe, white, middle of the road protest.
