This Jewish Woman Marches Anyways: My (complicated) thoughts on the Women’s March
Do I march? Do I stay home?
My mixed feelings on the Women’s March aren’t new and they certainly aren’t a secret. For months now, the March’s leadership has been rocked with valid criticism and outrage over their lack of condemnation (and seeming approval) of antisemitism. As a feminist and activist, as an attendee of both of the past marches, and as a Jew, I once again feel like I’m at a crossroads.
But with the clock ticking, I have begrudgingly resolved I will march. Read my latest for Alma for the full explanation and check out my thoughts from last year’s March as well.
