The Presidential Inaugural Committee is facilitating donations to Planned Parenthood, encouraging supporters to sponsor American flags on the National Mall in the name of unity.
Through the committee's "America United" program around the Jan. 20 Presidential Inauguration, supporters of President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris are encouraged to become a "symbolic sponsor" of the "Field of Flags" on the National Mall; they can do so by donating to a number of groups including Planned Parenthood.
"At a time when Americans cannot gather together in person for the inauguration, the PIC will install an extensive public art display on the National Mall that will include approximately 191,500 U.S. flags of varying sizes, including flags representing every state and territory, and 56 pillars of light," the committee stated in a Jan. 11 announcement.
The hundreds of thousands of flags "will represent the American people who are unable to travel to Washington, DC," the committee stated, encouraging supporters "to become a symbolic sponsor of the Field of Flags in exchange for a donation to PIC's partners in service."
