The Anti-trump Women’s March That Hit The Streets The Day After President Donald Trump’s Inauguration Is Now Gearing Up For A Repeat Event On January 19 In Washington, Dc, But Some Of Its Founders Are Facing Charges From Former Fellow Activists That The Left-wing Group Is Promoting The Bigotry And Corruption It Claims To Oppose.
Teresa Shook, credited as one of the women who launched the march on social media, spearheaded the criticism last month when she called on the women now running the “movement” to step down.
Those women include Women’s March National co-chairwomen Carmen Perez, Bob Bland, Tamika D. Mallory, and Linda Sarsour, who is a Palestinian American known for her anti-Israel stance.
The HuffPost reported in November: In a Facebook post published Monday afternoon, Shook wrote that the four public faces of the Women’s March should resign because they have strayed from the group’s goals.
“I have waited, hoping they would right the ship. But they have not,” Shook wrote. “In opposition to our Unity Principles, they have allowed anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist, hateful beliefs.”
“I call for the current Co-Chairs to step down and to let others lead who can restore faith in the Movement and its original intent,” Shook continued. “I stand in Solidarity with all the Sister March Organizations, to bring the Movement back to its authentic purpose.”
March leaders have also come under scrutiny for their association with anti-Semite and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan. – READ MORE
