Women's March relocates from National Mall to smaller venue amid bad weather, loss of support
Washington Times ^ | Jan 17, 2019 | Aldridge’s Richardson

Three days before the 2019 Women’s March, organizers announced they had moved to a smaller venue as the third annual march confronts bad weather, a government shutdown and a dramatic drop of support on the left.

The Women’s March said Wednesday it had changed its starting point to Freedom Plaza at the corner of 14th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue — instead of the National Mall — with plans to march “past the Trump Hotel.”

The Women’s March said it had been required to relocate by the National Park Service due to snow and accused the agency of pressuring the group to cancel the Saturday event, which NPS spokesman Mike Litterst denied as “patently false.”

..: “However, National Park Service spokesman Mike Litterst said a change in venue came at the request of the organizers,” the station reported.

The forecast Saturday for Washington, D.C., calls for rain as well as temperatures in the 30s.

The last-minute change came as Women’s March leaders undertook an eleventh-hour campaign to repair relations with the Jewish community over allegations of anti-Semitism that have plagued the progressive group for the last year...

The group has lost at least a dozen partners in the last two weeks. The 2017 Women’s March had more than 500 partners, but the number of those lending their support to this year’s event has dipped to fewer than 200, according to the website.

I’m always amazed at how groups want to have DC ‘marches’ in the period of November to March. It makes no sense.

They realize there is a growing backlash against them.

And tomorrow’s March for Life will again draw a half million people from all over the nation.

If you’re going, bring a trash bag to leave it cleaner than when we arrived.

Maybe Louis Farrakhan, the superhero of the 3 radical "sisters" who co-chair the "Women's March" can save the day.

It's like the Soviet Union and its bad grain harvests -- got to blame the weather.

Moving the march to a smaller location? Because of the weather? Yeah, right. That, and the fact that no one is interested.

The new plan is to march the out of towners straight into a gay bar, get them liquored up, and try to convince them that lesbian sex will help the cause and the economy.

Farrakhan's girls, Sarsour, Mallory & Perez have been the "Women's March" since day one.

So are the pink hats in vouge or out of vogue? Are white wimmins allowed ? What about the always problematic fake women, the transfaggots, are they allowed ?.

“They realize there is a growing backlash against them.”

They lost their funding. Means no buses, placards, paid organizers to run the rally.

Now, in a smaller venue, with the right camera angles, it can be made to look like more people.
