A call to action from Jane Fonda, one of the most inspiring activists of our time, urging us to wake up to the looming disaster of climate change and equipping us with the tools we need to join her in protest

In 2019, daunted by the looming disaster of climatechange and inspired by Greta Thunberg, Naomi Klein,and student climate strikers, Jane Fonda askedherself one question: What can I do?

Jane Fonda, one of the most influential activists of our time, moved toWashington, D.C., and has since led thousands of people in demonstrationson Capitol Hill. In launching Fire Drill Fridays, Fonda teamed up withGreenpeace, leading climate scientists, and community organizers not onlyto understand what’s at stake, but to equip all of us with the education andtools we need to join her in protest.

What Can I Do? isn’t a wish list—it’s a to-do list. So many of us recognizethe urgency in stemming the tide of climate change but aren’t sure where tostart. Our window of opportunity to act is quickly closing. And it isn’t onlyEarth’s life-support systems that are unraveling, so too is our social is going to take an all-out war on drilling, fracking, deregulation, racism,misogyny, colonialism, and despair—all at the same time. The problems weface now require every one of us to join the fight for not only our immediatefuture, but for the future of generations to come.
