"I never would have expected my life to get so much fuller and, in some ways, more meaningful as I moved into my 8th decade," Fonda wroteTuesday."But I’ve heeded the call of Greta Thunberg, who was just named Time’s person of the year, left my comfort zone, and moved to DC to carry out weekly climate actions called Fire Drill Fridays. When I started, I didn’t know if the actions and the teach-ins that precede them would gain traction. It’s clear to me now that they have.
Fonda continued:"The fossil fuel industry has controlled the U.S. government and too many other governments for far too long. This is the last possible moment in history when changing course can mean saving lives and species on an unimaginable scale."
