2019 Women's March

The 2019 Women's March was a protest that occurred on January 19, 2019, in the United States. It followed the 2017 Women's March and 2018 Women's March.

In February 2018, the Women's March faced controversy when reports emerged that three of its four lead organizers had attended events hosted by Louis Farrakhan. Accusations that the leaders failed to condemn antisemitic remarks made by Farrakhan and broader concerns about antisemitism within the organization led co-founder Teresa Shook to call for their resignations. These controversies prompted several state chapters to distance themselves from the national organization. By December 2018, The New York Times noted that accusations of antisemitism were overshadowing the movement’s plans for future marches.

The 2019 march saw a significantly lower turnout compared to previous years. Contributing factors included poor weather, reduced public interest, and the controversies surrounding the march’s leadership. Despite the decline, thousands of participants across the U.S. took part in the protests.
