A Rift Over Power and Privilege in the Women’s March
How tensions in the leadership of the protest movement burst into the open.
After the divisiveness of the 2016 election, the Women’s March became a major symbol of unity. But two years later, a rift in the movement has grown.
Accusations of anti-Semitism against leaders of the Women’s March organization are overshadowing plans for more marches.
Much of the recent controversy has centered on one leader’s ties with Louis Farrakhan, the head of the Nation of Islam.
As a result of the conflict, two competing protests of the Trump administration will be held in New York City on Saturday.
