Anti-Semitism Cancels Chicago Women's March; Two Said Jews Exploited Blacks, Led Slave Trade

The Chicago chapter of the Women's March decided to cancel the rally they had scheduled for January 19 amid reports of anti-Semitism in the national group's leadership, the Daily Caller website reports today (December 26, 2018).

"There's no march, there's no rally," Sara Kurensky, Women's March Chicago board member, said yesterday to the Chicago Tribune. "We're going to provide ways for people to organize and take action in their local communities."

Last month, two of the Women's March's founders, Carmen Perez and Tamika Mallory, accosted a Jewish woman who was in the meeting, spouting false allegations that Jewish people 'bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people," and "were proven to have been  leaders of the American slave trade."

Earlier this week, Mallory told The NY Times: "We've all learned a lot about how white Jews, as white people, uphold white supremacy. ALL jews are targeted by it."
