Actress Jane Fonda, who is 85 years old, made the connection between the so-called “climate crisis” and racism during an appearance on “The Kelly Clarkson Show.”
A new promotion for Jane Fonda’s impending blockbuster picture, “80 for Brady,” which also stars her long-time friends and co-stars Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno, and Sally Field, was just secured by the actress. As this star-studded ensemble goes out on their voyage, you can expect to go on an enlightening journey with them as they experience the great outdoors.

When the renowned actress took the stage, she conveyed her commitment for social justice and offered uplifting tales of individuals who overcame hardship.
“For me, it was learning about the Vietnam War,” Fonda said. “And when I really understood what that was about, I couldn’t not do anything except try to join the movement to stop it.”
Fonda commented on how activism has been intimately woven into the fabric of her life, earning her the nickname “Hanoi Jane” during her widely publicized journey to North Vietnam in 1972. During this tour, Fonda was given the nickname. She had spent years campaigning for social justice causes, including taking a forceful stand against nonconformity during times of conflict, and she said with self-assurance that transitioning from performing to advocacy was the next logical step in her career.
“Well, you know, you can take anything – sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war,” the actress said. “And if you really get into it, and study it and learn about it and the history of it and everything’s connected. There’d be no climate crisis if it wasn’t for racism.”
When Moreno received Fonda’s request out of the blue, he was taken aback and immediately asked for an explanation.
“Where would they put the s—?” she replied.
“Where would they put the poison and the pollution?” Fonda said. “They’re not gonna put it in Bel Air. They’ve got to find some place where poor people or indigenous people or people of color are living. Put it there. They can’t fight back. And that’s why a big part of the climate movement now has to do with climate justice.”

According to Fox News:
In October of 2019, Fonda’s climate advocacy made news when she was one of 16 individuals arrested on the steps of the Capitol building during a climate change march in Washington, District of Columbia. A complaint of “crowding, obstructing, or incommoding” was brought against the actress.
Greta Thunberg, a climate activist who is 16 years old, has lately inspired Jane Fonda to return to the public eye in Washington, D.C. She aims to spend four months rallying supporters via sit ins and demonstrations, and she promises that it will be worth our time. Netflix has granted her and her co-star Tomlin permission to take a brief leave of absence from their sitcom “Grace and Frankie.”
Through a variety of actions—some of which resulted in her incarceration—Jane Fonda has proved her dedication to the subject of combating climate change. Her commitment and unyielding zeal for a more environmentally conscious future serves as an example to aspire to.
