Women's March was originally promoted by Sausour & Mallory with now questionable intent.


The March of 2018 brought a more united front & the likes of Sausour & Mallory being outed will perhaps help all women's causes to be pulled from the bad taste left by the Farrakhan alliance.

SNIP

In 2017, millions of women took to the streets to protest the inauguration of Donald Trump. This weekend, hundreds of marches are planned in cities worldwide as the movement grows in size and ambition. Plus, the protest signs just get better and better with each march.

The march in Los Angeles takes on a deeper meaning after the onslaught of sexual harassment and assault allegations made against men in Hollywood who have used their positions of power to abuse others.

Movements like Me Too and Time's Up have brought about an increased awareness with celebrities putting their influence toward bringing about lasting change.

THIS is where the entire women's movement should go. It should and will become a mass effort.

The 2017 Women's March was worthy, the promoters were deceptive.

This is what I am referring to.
Sarsour, Mallory & Perez need to bow out.






It didn't help the MeToo movement when the organizers aligned with Farrakhan Wwcd May 2018 #1
