Another Women's March event has been canceled days before the three-year anniversary of the original Women's March in 2017 following the election of Donald Trump as president. The Baton Rouge chapter of the Organization for Women announced on Facebook that the New Orleans Women's March will not be happening because national Women's March leaders have not resigned.

The late December announcement coincides with the cancellation of two other events in major areas. A Northern California Women's March was canceled because attendees at the first two events had been " overwhelmingly white." Chicago organizers are not holding a January event there, saying a substitute event was held in October to drum up excitement for the midterm elections.

"The controversy is dampening efforts of sister marches to fundraise, enlist involvement, find sponsors and attendee numbers have drastically declined this year. New Orleans is no exception," the Baton Rouge chapter wrote. "Many of the sister marches have asked the leaders of Women’s March, Inc. to resign but as of today, they have yet to do so."





The Women's March, Inc. has been hit with accusations of anti-Semitism when it was reported that leaders of the organization may have tried to push a theory that Jews were "proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade." Three of the national group's co-chairs, Linda Sarsour, Carmen Perez, and Tamika Mallory, support Louis Farrakhan, the black nationalist leader of the Nation of Islam who has also made anti-Semitic comments. The revelations led one of the founders of the Women's March to ask the co-chairs to resign. The Women's March also posted a controversial tweet criticizing white women for not voting how the organization wanted them to vote, writing "There needs to be accountability and an honest reckoning. There’s a lot of work to do, white women. A lot of learning. A lot of growing."



There needs to be accountability and an honest reckoning. There’s a lot of work to do, white women. A lot of learning. A lot of growing.



We want to do it with you.

The flagship Women's March is set to return to D.C. after holding the 2018 event in Nevada, which was a key state during the run-up to the midterm elections.
