The Zioness Movement applauds @Alyssa_Milano and @DebraMessing for calling out the leaders of the Women’s March for their hateful rhetoric and their continued association with bigots and anti-Semites like Louis Farrakhan.
1/10
We stand with the women and men who have over the years demonstrated for a better, stronger, more just America; marched against racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia and xenophobia; and opposed the cruel, anti-women, anti-immigrant policies of the Trump administration.
2/10
Zioness rejects the divisive examples of Linda Sarsour, Tamika Mallory and others who claim to be “leaders” of women, while they continue to support anti-Semitic, homophobic figures like Farrakhan and make consistent efforts to demonize the Jewish community in progressive spaces.
We refuse to be intimidated by their attempts to exclude progressive Zionists from spaces like the Women’s March.
We will not let ourselves be silenced, segregated or marginalized.
4/10
We will speak out for all our values; we will call out the haters when we come upon them. We will continue to build a movement that is larger, more inclusive and ultimately more powerful then these few mistaken figures.
5/10
That is why Zioness will be organizing a significant presence at the next Women’s March from coast-to-coast, engaging our more than 18 chapters and thousands of participants.
6/10
As part of this work, Zioness will be hosting a series of pre-march “teach-ins” that bring light to the issues facing Jewish women in the face of skyrocketing anti-Semitism. In Washington, DC, this teach-in will be headed by progressive leader Ann Lewis.
7/10
We will be announcing additional leaders organizing these teach-ins in the coming week.
8/10
If u want 2 march 4 #reproductiverights, join Zioness. If u want 2 march 4 #guncontrol, join Zioness. If u want 2 march 4 black and brown lives, undocumented immigrant lives, LGBTQ lives, an open and free press, affordable housing, health care, and climate change, join Zioness.
And if you want to march against anti-Semitism everywhere, join Zioness.
