SlutWalk Chicago organizers opposed the presence of the Zioness initiative, a progressive Zionist group, at the event.
Speaking of progressive Jewish women, there were Zionist Jewish women on the periphery of Chicago’s Slut Walk. About 150 people participated in the rally and march.
Using red umbrellas, activists block the signs being held by Zioness Movement members, who leave the march early in protest.
The new Zioness group had announced that it would join in the annual demonstration Saturday against sexual violence to promote the idea that Zionism and progressive values are compatible.
The SlutWalk is the latest chapter in a summer of increasing tensions between the city’s Jewish community and some LGBTQ groups.
