“I can’t in good conscience say that I support a movement or feel a part of a movement that clearly does not embrace me back,” Schorr told the Forward.
Schorr’s feelings reflect a broader trend in the relationship between the Women’s March and the Jewish community, which started out on a high note right after President Trump’s election but has since seen some rough spots over perceived anti-Semitism. Now a more organized backlash is forming. Some individuals and groups are speaking out against the march, and an organization has formed to push for change within the march and provide an alternative for disenchanted activists.
The Women’s March could not be reached for comment.
