I wouldn’t have wanted to drive home almost 8 hours in the wintry muck that is soon to be unleashed. I was really looking forward to it. Now will attend a local march.

Center for American Progress, Emily’s List, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the Human Rights Campaign and the Southern Poverty Law Center along with the DNC and the NAACP.

Neither Kamala Harris nor Kirsten Gillibrand will attend.

It's the fault of the "leaders" of the march.

I went to the first one (in Boston) but would not attend another until the current leadership steps down.

There are some Women's Marches that are no longer affiliated with the national group though I don't know which ones.

I won't go again until the leadership changes.

I really don't know who they are.

I DO recall that at the first march (which was A M A Z I N G) that the organizers kinda "quit" in the morning of the event and it just took on a life of its own. We thought that was odd but the event itself overcame any negative thoughts.

Where are we now?

Here's a recent article in the NYT re; anti-semitism

and an article it was based on in Tablet:

One comment from Mercy Morganfield:

Mercy Morganfield, a longtime activist and daughter of blues legend Muddy Waters, has been one of the leading voices in calling for accountability from the co-chairs. For Morganfield, a former spokesperson for the Women’s March who also ran the D.C. branch, the various problems that people have had with the Women’s March—ideological, managerial, fiscal—should be seen as all of a piece. She recalled being startled earlier this year when Mallory—already a nationally recognized leader of the Women’s March—showed up at the Nation of Islam’s Saviours’ Day event. “When all of that went down, it was my last straw,” she told Tablet. “You are part of a national movement that is about the equality of women and you are sitting in the front row listening to a man say women belong in the kitchen and you’re nodding your head saying amen! I told them over and over again: It’s fine to be religious, but there is no place for religion in its radical forms inside of a national women’s movement with so many types of women. It spoke to their inexperience and inability to hold this at a national stage. That is judgment, and you can’t teach judgment.”

Holding a march on Sunday.

I went to the first march in Boston, but have no intention of accepting antisemitism in the name of so-called progressive unity.

I didn't like how they marginalized Hillary at the last one, along with some other sketchy stuff. Then, I learned about the leadership and their beliefs.

Nope nope nope.

No snark. Serious question.
