Related: About this forumWomans March cutting ties with three original board members accused of anti-Semitism
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP)The Womens March is cutting ties with three inaugural board members who have been dogged by accusations of anti-Semitism, infighting and financial mismanagement controversies some say have slowed the organizations progress and diminished its impact.
Co-Chairs Bob Bland, Tamika Mallory and Linda Sarsour stepped down from the board July 15, though the organization has been slow to announce their departures. The Womens March website continued to host their photos and titles as co-chairs through this week, when the group announced the board turnover.

Makes me wonder why, because it sure as fuck wasn't out of concern for Jewish women.
ETA: Any bets on how long before any of them/all three of them, blame Jews, which they will call "Zionists", for their departure? I say one month, two at the most.
