As an activist and community organizer, Rebecca was recognized in The New Yorker Magazine earlier this year for the work she has done successfully organizing her home of Kingston, NY against Niagara Bottling, a California water bottling company, that aimed to purchase and sell the municipality's water supply. Described in the article by fellow activist and friend actress Rachel Weisz, as "a very talented musician and a devoted mum who, as a concerned citizen, educated herself in the very complex details of local politics." Martin, she went on, "can't look away, like most of us." VIEW the article here.
