There will be no Women's March rally in Eureka this January.
The decision to cancel the city's annual Women's March came after organizers and supporters of the movement noticed participants over the years had been "overwhelmingly white." In lieu of the march, which was originally set to take place on Jan. 19, organizers will discuss a way to broaden cultural representation going forward, the committee wrote in a statement.
"Instead of pushing forward with crucial voices absent, the organizing team will take time for more outreach," the post read. "Our goal is that planning will continue and we will be successful in creating an event that will build power and community engagement through connection between women that seek to improve the lives of all in our community."
According to census bureau data, Humboldt County is about 74 percent non-Hispanic white. Organizers did not respond to a request for interview by the time of publication.
Some community members in the Facebook group were glad the group decided to cancel the rally and excited about the attention placed on diversity. Others were livid.
"Our crowd wasn't brown enough? Wasn't queer enough? Wasn't transgender enough?" Noel Boquet wrote on Facebook.
Robyn Moreno, another member, countered: "The amount of white women snarling angrily at an attempt to further diversify the event is a huge indicator as to why this was such an important move."

Diversity is a strength.
Apparently, the more “colorful” folks feel the need to hijack the issue.

What’s good enough for Adam
Is good enough for me
I’m awfully glad we got ‘em
They’re easy to see (as long as they’re)
White women everywhere
There’s always a replacement, anytime, anywhere
They walk without a swagger
Their power’s on the wane
But something deep within me
Cries out all the same (it’s gotta be)
White women everyday
To me it doesn’t matter that their skin’s passe
As long as they’re white
As long as they’re white
As long as they’re white from head to toe
As long as they’re white
As long as they’re white
As long as they’re white I’ll have a go
White women, everywhere
The places that I’m cruising
The places that I stay
Are filled with Anglo-Saxons
And I get my way
White women, everyday
You can see’em blush, at least by light of day

Brown women are too busy making babies. White women can’t cook, and can’t make babies, so they may as well march.
It’s the dreaded “Kwanzaa Teaching White Female Elementary School Teacher” Syndrome!
No one cares except Doo-Dad busting white women who are perpetually mad at the world and dis-satisfied with everything they have become.
You’ll notice that it wasn’t cancelled due to an overabundance of fat, middle-aged lesbians.
I would offer this opinion of Eureka, California (having been there once in 1981). It’s a great historical town and far enough away from San Francisco to retain its own character. But when you note the population of 25,000...I seriously doubt there’s more than 100 blacks in the whole city. I remember walking around and thinking even in that period....it’s just not a multicultural city. I doubt if anything has changed in thirty years.
Maybe some Latinos will have arrived in the past decade or two, but they usually aren’t the ones who show up for marches.
Apparently, it’s less than 300 Blacks. About 1.2% as of 2000 census.
But the biggest problem was that it was overwhelmingly *female* (meaning two “X” chromosomes).
“Robyn”
This is to avoid cultural appropriation of the bird species.
What say you Fish Hawk...
I guess it wasn’t that important to start with eh? No one really cared IF they had it or not. no time wasted now.
