(Jewish Group) Vallejo Jews urge Women's March to purge anti-Semitism

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)

In January 2017, a contingent of Vallejo Jews fell in with the Women’s March, which drew millions of protesters in cities across the country and the world.

Now, women in that contingent warn that unless the national movement addresses charges of anti-Semitism among some of its leaders, they won’t be marching anymore.

In an open letter, members of the Vallejo Jewish community, including those who have participated in the Women’s March, demanded that the movement’s national leadership — specifically co-founder Tamika Mallory — denounce the incendiary anti-Semitic rhetoric of Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan, which Mallory had enthusiastically embraced earlier this year.

Lucinda Lees of Vallejo said she felt compelled to let the Women’s March leaders know that the anti-Semitism within its ranks has to go.

“Tamika Mallory has refused to disavow her longstanding relationship with Farrakhan,” Lees said. “This means that one of the leaders of the national Women’s March publicly abides a man who is open about his bigotry, homophobia, transphobia and wild anti-Semitism.”

In their letter, the Vallejo women wrote, “[We] condemn unambiguously and without reservation the toxic and divisive hate speech — the homophobia, bigotry, misogyny, transphobia and anti-Semitism — of Louis Farrakhan that is being given room to fester and take root in our movement.”

1. Is Farrakhan worthy of your words?

I think not. Tell me about your opinion of the man in our White House.
