John, it’s Jane Fonda. You may know me as a bit of a troublemaker in Washington for, well, decades. And I’m proud to still be at it.

Throughout my life, I’ve always found activism to be the best antidote to despair. I even spent my 82nd birthday in jail for protesting government inaction on the climate emergency (Can you believe it? There weren’t any cakes or candles…) It was my fifth arrest for civil disobedience, and you know what? I wear each one like a badge of honor because I was fighting for what I believe in.

For me, nonviolent disobedience is one of the most powerful tools we have in our arsenal; it’s why those in power are always trying to take it away from us. Engaging in nonviolent disobedience invites you to put your body — your actions — in alignment with your values and goals. Doing so calls attention to the issue, sways public opinion, mobilizes large numbers of people, and creates change.

Every time I stood, spoke, or sat in defiance, it was driven by my firm belief in collective action. When people come together, particularly at critical moments, we can make history.

And fighting this administration is our next big test, John. We’re the first generation to feel the full weight of the climate crisis, and the last that can still shift the path we’re on.

But it will take more than hope. It will take determination and people like you stepping up in moments like these when we need you most.

That’s why I’m humbly asking you to split a donation between the Jane Fonda Climate PAC and the Progressive Change Campaign Committee today. Even a donation as small as $10 can power our movement.

In solidarity,

– Jane Fonda
