John — This is Jane Fonda. I'm sure you've seen the infamous
mugshot of me from 1970. What you probably don't know is the story behind
how I managed to raise my fist while in handcuffs.

[ [link removed] ]Before we dive in, I want to ask: Would you be able to split a donation
between the Jane Fonda Climate PAC and the Progressive Change Campaign
Committee before our biggest deadline of the year so far on October 31?
Every bit of support helps us elect real climate champions at a time when
the stakes for our climate and our democracy have never been higher.

[ [link removed] ]Jane Fonda's Mug Shot

My infamous mugshot, taken in November 1970 in Cleveland, OH

To make a long story short, I was arrested on completely fabricated drug
smuggling charges. What they claimed were drugs were, in fact, vitamins. I
kid you not. It turns out that the orders for my arrest came straight from
the Nixon White House — it was a frame-up.

After spending the night in jail in Cleveland, they took me to the
courthouse the next morning. I was handcuffed, photographers were waiting,
and I knew this was my moment to send a message.

Here's where being double-jointed came in handy: I made my hands really
small, slipped right out of one handcuff before the policewoman knew what
was happening, and threw up that “power to the people” fist you see in the
photo.

That image became an enduring symbol of resistance that's still on
t-shirts and protest signs today.

But there was more to that gesture than just sticking it to the man. I
raised my fist because I believed then, as I do now, that when the
powerful try to silence you, you find a way to make your voice heard
anyway.

When Big Oil tries to buy our democracy, when Trump and his MAGA allies
try to strip our freedoms, we find a way to fight back. The same spirit
that got me out of those handcuffs in 1970 is what's driving our movement
today.

[ [link removed] ]But I can’t do this work alone, John. I need you to carry
forward that same spirit of resistance by splitting a donation between the
Jane Fonda Climate PAC and the PCCC before our final end-of-month deadline
ahead of Election Day. Can I count you in?
