Her Core Message

Fonda uses the platform to amplify her climate activism. “What I really want is for you to make an effort for the planet. The climate crisis is an emergency, and I want to ask you—whether you're sitting on the couch or lying on a yoga mat, or want to join the virtual Fire Drill Fridays. The future needs you. I need you.”

Climate Protests

A veteran of climate protests, Fonda rallied weekly in Washington D.C., facing arrests alongside stars like Joaquin Phoenix and Martin Sheen. Last week, amid the coronavirus outbreak, she pivoted to virtual demonstrations.
