And I'm proud to still be at it.
Throughout my life, I've always found activism to be the best antidote to despair. I even spent my 82nd birthday in jail for protesting government inaction on the climate emergency. (Can you believe it? There weren't any cakes or candles…)
It was my fifth arrest for civil disobedience, and you know what? I wear each one like a badge of honor because I was fighting for what I believe in. Jane's iconic mugshot from 1970 after the Nixon White House had her arrested in Cleveland in 1970. For me, nonviolent disobedience is one of the most powerful tools we have in our arsenal; it's why those in power are always trying to take it away from us. Engaging in nonviolent disobedience invites you to put your body — your actions — in alignment with your values and goals. Doing so calls attention to the issue, sways public opinion, mobilizes large numbers of people, and creates change.
Every time I stood, spoke, or sat in defiance, it was driven by my firm belief in collective action. When people come together, particularly at critical moments, we can make history.
And fighting this administration is our next big test, Jason. We're the first generation to feel the full weight of the climate crisis, and the last that can still shift the path we're on.
But it will take more than hope. It will take determination and people like you stepping up in moments like these when we need you most.
That's why I'm humbly asking you to split a donation between the Jane Fonda Climate PAC and Democratic Values before our first end-of-quarter deadline of 2026. Even a donation as small as $10 can power our movement. If you've saved payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation split between Jane Fonda Climate PAC and Democratic Values will go through immediately: I don't want to look back with regrets. I want to know that I did everything in my power to fight for the future — for our health and for the generations that come after us.
That's what keeps me moving forward. That's why I refuse to sit this one out.
