Jane Fonda

I was so depressed.

And then I said, fuck it.

I said, I'm going to make a difference.

Well, I'm going to step back to the macro view of it, I think.

We're basically globally, we face two existential crises.

climate and democracy.

And they're totally interrelated, interdependent, and they have to be solved together.

And the clock is ticking on the climate crisis.

So after the Fire Drill Fridays, which were the rallies that we had for about five months in D.C.

in 2019, and then for a couple of years online during the COVID crisis, when that ended, me and my team looked at each other and said, you know...

All of us collectively have been involved in decades of protest and civil disobedience and writing books and articles, et cetera.

And we haven't gotten the legislation that we need that's commensurate with what science is saying.

This is during the Biden administration.

Right.

And so we said, and we know the reason.

The reason is because so many of our elected officials take money from the fossil fuel industry.

And so we decided to create the Jane Fonda Climate Pack.

And we decided strategically to focus down ballot.

This was five years ago.

This is what the Tea Party did.
