Bob Bland

Bob Bland [Mari Lynn Bland / Mari Lynn Foulger] joined in at least one anti-Israel event in New York City in January 2024.

The profilee's activism occurred during Israel’s war against Hamas, which Israel launched after the October 7, 2023, terror attacks when Hamas murdered nearly 1,200 Israelis, injured thousands and kidnapped hundreds.

The Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) chapter in the city (NYC-DSA) promoted the January 2024 event, which was in support of the Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS) movement.

NYC-DSA organizes pro-terror and anti-Israel rallies and disruptions, including an October 8, 2023, rally one day after Hamas killed 1,200 Israelis.

NYC-DSA uses social media to celebrate Hamas by using the symbol. In a speech posted to Instagram, co-chair Gustavo Gordillo said [00:01:41]: "They make figures like Hamas and, quote unquote, terrorists into effective enemies...The terror comes from the capitalists and their pawns...the terror comes from the fascist governments and their ICE squads."

NYC-DSA's social media also features activists promoting antisemitism and explicit calls for Israel's destruction. They have called to "dismantle" the entire "U.S. capitalist economy" and have promoted hatred of the police, along with demands that police be abolished and disarmed.

As of September 2025, Bob Bland's LinkedIn profile said she had been a senior advisor and creative consultant for the Disability Culture Lab since June 2024, as well as a creative consultant for the Center for Popular Democracy. Bland's LinkedIn said she was located in Brooklyn, New York.

Bob Bland is also the co-founder and former co-president of The Women's March. In July 2019, Bland, along with fellow Women's March board members Linda Sarsour and Tamika Mallory, stepped down following an antisemitism scandal.
