Jane Fonda is almost as well known for her activism as she is for her Hollywood career. Now she's taking her climate change protest (and that red coat) to Los Angeles.
Jane Fonda is a living icon. She's won Oscars, hails from Hollywood royalty and has had an impact on nearly every aspect of popular culture for the past 60 years. But unlike many other legends of the silver screen, Fonda is almost as well known for her performances as she is for her activism.
Jane Fonda demonstrates in Franklin Square Park during"Fire Drill Fridays" climate change protest on December 6, 2019, in Washington, D.C. Speakers address the ways in which climate change affects migration and human rights. The movement demands fast action for a Green New Deal, including renewable energy by 2030, and no new exploration or drilling for fossil fuels, including the end to taxpayer subsidies to oil companies.
Every single person should be playing a role. And when people are in Hollywood, especially the actors in Hollywood, they have a platform. So that platform can be used, and it's always best that it be used in the context of an organization. I don't act alone. When I decided to go to Washington, I immediately called Greenpeace. I've been working in the embrace of Greenpeace.
Which of the 2020 candidates do you think is best poised to combat climate change and pass the Green New Deal?
