I rarely get the chance to write about Martha Plimpton, which is too bad because I absolutely love her. Her guest appearances on The Good Wife were basically the reason to watch the show. She was consistently excellent on Raising Hope. She’s been doing great work in film, TV and stage for decades, and she’ currently on The Real O’Neals (is that show still on?). And she’s very politically active too. Martha plans to protest, in Washington DC, for Emperor Baby Fists’ inauguration on Friday. She’s putting her money where her mouth is too – she’s making accommodations for 28 people on a bus from New York to Washington.

Martha Plimpton is making sure everyone she knows in New York City can go to the Women’s March on Washington, DC, if they want to. She’s organizing a bus to and from the event, carrying 28 people, as well as sleeping accommodations for 15 on a pay-what-you-can basis.

The actress-activist is on the board of directors for A is For, a nonprofit dedicated to women’s reproductive rights, and she told Page Six of Saturday’s coming event, “Everyone marching, whether in DC or their home states, is sending a message to the incoming administration and its supporters .?.?. that we are watching and we are ready to defend ourselves and our neighbors from the suffering they intend to inflict on the American people,” adding, “This is the beginning of a long period of resistance for which a diverse America is well-prepared.”

You can see the website for A is for here. They’re a pro-reproductive rights organization, obviously. Other celebrities associated with the organization include woke-ass Michael Shannon, John Lithgow, Michelle Williams, Jesse Tyler Ferguson and more.

Personally, I’m not planning on marching or going to Washington (which is a four-hour-plus drive for me). It’s not that I don’t believe in marching or the Women’s March – I applaud all of the men and women who will be doing their part to disrupt the inauguration and have their voices heard. I just think there are lots of ways to protest and disrupt and resist, and many women feel the same way – NY Mag’s The Cut did a series of interviews with women who are not planning to protest, some of whom say it’s because there’s not a coherent message beyond “Trump is the worst.” Which I understand too. I guess those women are waiting for Trump, Pence and Ryan to outlaw abortion in the dead of the night before all hell really breaks loose.
