Jane Fonda's Call to Action: Climate Change and Elections

Do you ever feel like there’s a problem in the world that needs fixing, but you’re not sure where to start? Jane Fonda, a famous actor and activist, has been feeling this way about climate change. She realized it’s more than just an environmental issue—it affects everyone on the planet! Fonda had a wake-up call when she saw the sky filled with smoke from wildfires. That moment made her decide to use her influence to bring attention to the climate crisis. She wants people to know that this is something we all need to work together on, no matter where you live or what you do for a living. One way Fonda is taking action is by supporting Vice President Kamala Harris and other candidates who care about the environment. She thinks they’re committed to making changes, like cutting down on fossil fuel emissions. But she knows that elected officials can only do so much without support from voters. That's where you come in! Fonda wants young people to vote and make their voices heard. She believes that if enough people speak up, real change can happen. Protests and civil disobedience can make a difference, but they’re even more powerful when leaders are ready to listen and take action. Fonda has started something called the Jane Fonda Climate PAC to help elect candidates who focus on climate issues. She thinks that if we have enough climate champions in local and state offices, we’ll be better equipped to tackle this big problem together. So, what do you think? Is it time for us all to come together and show our power by voting? Fonda believes in the strength of young people and their ability to shape a better future. Let's make her proud!
