Rep. Katherine Clark - part of NoBillNoBreak sit-in, boycotting the inauguration.

Clark, who represents the 5th Massachusetts district, which includes Sudbury, Wayland, Natick and Holliston, told the Globe that she believes attending the inauguration would "normalize" the President-elect's promotion of "bigoted, misogynistic, anti-Semitic and racist claims. Clark disagreed with the notion that it was important to attend the inauguration out of respect for tradition, telling the Globe she did not feel the need to "attend the pageantry associated with and for this president."

Clark's full statement on the inauguration can be found here: (and on Twitter)

She is the only one from MA boycotting. More from the Globe:

Also if anyone in Seth Moulton's district needs a ride to the Women's March in DC he has secured one train car and is looking to secure another.
