Planned Parenthood, for example.

A group of 14 restaurants is planning to make donations to various groups after Donald Trump is sworn in as part of an “All in Service” fundraising effort, BuzzFeed News reported Friday.

“The team is talking to another dozen businesses right now,” All In Service spokeswoman Sarah Massey told BuzzFeed. “We would love to see the entire D.C. service industry participate.”Participating businesses can decide on a percentage of their Jan. 20 weekend profits to donate to local aid organizations.

Bourbon, one of the restaurants involved, plans on giving to Planned Parenthood.

The other picks for donations included Thrive DC, which serves the homeless, and Mary’s Center, which gives healthcare and social services to low-income D.C. residents.

Another organization, Martha’s Table, provides clothing and food for D.C. children, and a group called Ayuda supports immigrants living in the nation’s capital.

            Pretty sure that is as far as I will make it, I will not be able to lose the “elect” part.

              he was selected by 270 over the voices of nearly 66 million who elected Hillary.

    Now this is a fantastic idea.
    It’s rooted in public service and brings people together for a cause.
    I can’t think of a better incentive to patronize these restaurants.

    I love it.
    I’d love to see it grow and keep on going.

    And also love to see Bernie acknowledge it in some manner.
    The more forces that join, the stronger we are against the empire.
