Actress and activist Jane Fonda has long connected climate action with broader political reform. During her Fire Drill Fridays protests, she argued that tackling the climate crisis means more than clean energy - it also requires protecting voting rights, ending gerrymandering, and reducing the influence of dark money in politics.
Fonda’s approach blends grassroots civil disobedience with support for institutional policy ideas like the Green New Deal, emphasizing that lasting environmental progress depends on a stronger, more participatory democracy.
