The Women’s March — a civil-rights group at the center of protests against the Trump presidency — is losing top staffers and supporters over itsleadership’s refusal to denounce a racist, homophobic and anti-Semitic rant by Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan.
The latest to jump ship is high-profile staffer Alyssa Klein, who quit last week as the group’s social-media director.
Klein called Farrakhan “a dangerous troll,” andtweeted on March 5 that Women’s March leaders are “turning a blind eye to the hate spoken about a group of people.”
Regional branches in Canada, Florida and Washington, DC, have condemned the leadership’s unwillingness to speak out against Farrakhan.
