Founders of the Women's March are leaving the organization's board after facing allegations of anti-Semitism, which they deny, that threatened to overshadow the work of grassroots activists
The Women's March announced Monday that Tamika Mallory, Bob Bland and Linda Sarsour will transition off of the board and focus on other advocacy projects. The group's leadership has faced criticism for their association with the leader of the Nation of Islam, Louis Farrakhan. The Nation of Islam is a designated hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center, and Farrakhan is known for hyperbolic hate speech aimed at the Jewish community.
The group has organized other protests, including against Trump's immigration policies and Brett Kavanaugh's nomination to the Supreme Court after allegations of sexual assault, which he has denied, surfaced. The leadership shakeup comes ahead of an election year, and weeks before the group hosts a planned October demonstration"to protest Brett Kavanaugh and his work to overturn Roe v. Wade.
