A former Women’s March leader who was forced out of the organization for anti-Semitism has reemerged as a member of Zohran Mamdani’s transition team.
Tamika Mallory, an inaugural co-chair of the Women’s March protest group that formed in response to President Donald Trump’s 2016 election victory, was among more than 400 people named to various transition committees on Monday. She will serve on the transition team’s Committee on Community Safety.
The Women's March cut ties with Mallory in 2019 after founder Teresa Shook wrote in a Facebook post that Mallory and three other leaders had "allowed anti-Semitism, anti-LBGTQIA sentiment, and hateful, racist rhetoric to become a part of the platform by their refusal to separate themselves from groups that espouse these racist, hateful beliefs." Shook called on the co-chairs to leave the organization, stating that their extremism had "steered the Movement away from its true course."
During the first Women’s March meeting in November 2016, Mallory reportedly "asserted that Jewish people bore a special collective responsibility as exploiters of black and brown people—and even, according to a secondhand source, claimed that Jews were proven to have been leaders of the American slave trade," Tablet reported in 2018.
