The Guardian has
touted the “Women’s March on Washington” as a “spontaneous” action for
women’s rights. Another liberal media outlet, Vox,
talks about the “huge, spontaneous groundswell” behind the march. On
its website, organizers of the march are promoting their work as “a
grassroots effort” with
“independent” organizers. Even my local yoga studio, Beloved Yoga, is
renting a bus and offering seats for $35. The march’s manifesto says
magnificently, “The Rise of the Woman = The Rise of the Nation.”
It’s
an idea that I, a liberal feminist, would embrace. But I know — and
most of America knows — that the organizers of the march haven’t put
into their manifesto: the march really isn’t a “women’s march.” It’s a
march for women who are anti-Trump.
By
my draft research, which I’m
opening up for crowd-sourcing on
GoogleDocs, Soros has funded, or has close relationships with, at least
56 of the march’s “partners,” including “key partners” Planned
Parenthood, which opposes Trump’s anti-abortion policy, and the
National Resource Defense Council, which opposes Trump’s environmental
policies. The other Soros ties with “Women’s March” organizations
include the partisan MoveOn.org (which was fiercely pro-Clinton), the
National Action Network (which has a former executive director lauded
by Obama senior advisor Valerie Jarrett as “a leader of tomorrow” as a
march co-chair and another official as “the head of logistics”). Other
Soros grantees who are “partners” in the march are the American Civil
Liberties Union, Center for Constitutional Rights, Amnesty
International and Human Rights Watch. March organizers and the
organizations identified here haven’t yet returned queries for
comment.
On
the issues I care about as a Muslim, the “Women’s March,”
unfortunately, has taken a stand on the side of partisan politics that
has obfuscated the issues of Islamic extremism over the eight years of
the Obama administration. “Women’s March” partners include the Council
on American-Islamic Relations, which has not only deflected on issues
of Islamic extremism post-9/11, but opposes Muslim reforms that would
allow women to be prayer leaders and pray in the front of mosques,
without wearing headscarves as symbols of chastity. Partners also
include the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), which wrongly
designated Maajid Nawaz, a Muslim reformer, an “anti-Muslim
extremist” in
a biased report released before the election. The SPLC confirmed to me
that Soros funded its “anti-Muslim extremists” report targeting Nawaz.
(Ironically, CAIR also opposes abortions, but its leader still has
a key
speaking role.)
Another
Soros grantee and march “partner” is the Arab-American Association of
New York, whose executive director, Linda Sarsour, is a march co-chair.
When I co-wrote a piece, arguing that Muslim women don’t have to wear
headscarves as a symbol of “modesty,” she attacked the coauthor and me
as “fringe.”

Q. How Do We Know That American Intel
Agenies are Still in the Hands of Obama?
A. George Soros and son have not yes committed suicide, jumped
out of
10 story window, or gone missing while sailing on the Chesapeke Bay.
