Resistance! Celebrities Announce Facebook Live Telethon on Inauguration Day to Benefit Nonprofits


Washington, DC–(ENEWSPF)–January 13, 2017

It’s not the star-studded concert many were hoping for, but this is a wonderful thing to do during the inauguration. A group of well-known celebrities are banding together for a three-hour live broadcast on Inauguration Day, proceeds benefiting the ACLU, Planned Parenthood and Earthjustice.

Tune into the Facebook Live for a modern technology resistance effort! Check it out:

Love-a-thon will be a three-hour Facebook Live broadcast, beginning at 12:30 p.m. ET on inauguration day, January 20. The move is a part of an effort to raise money for three organizations — the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California, Planned Parenthood and Earthjustice.

The organizations notably focus on topics ranging from preserving civil rights and preventing climate change to fighting for women’s reproductive rights. These are hot button topics that came under fire during President-elect Donald Trump’s presidential campaign.

Celebrities such as Jane Fonda, Jamie Lee Curtis, Judd Apatow, Patricia Arquette, Christopher Guest and Tim Robbins are taking part. Singer Jeff Tweedy of Wilco will also join.

Bonus points for not watching the inauguration. Low ratings would crush his fragile ego.
