The Untold Story of the Fonda Family

In the fall of her life, Jane Fonda once again became the face of dissent. Fire Drill Fridays, launched in 2019, wasn’t a PR campaign—it was civil disobedience in the raw. Each Friday, she gathered activists, celebrities, students, and scientists to protest the government’s inaction on climate change.

And each time, she risked arrest. There she was—an 81-year-old woman, famous for glamor and grit, now marching in combat boots, chanting with teenagers. The world had changed, but Jane hadn’t. The stage was different, the cause updated, but the message stayed the same: raise hell when it matters. And it mattered.
