Taylor Schilling joined the Academy Award-winning actress for the 'Fire Drill Friday' rally at the nation's capital.
“Our time is running out,” Fonda said in a statement. “Scientists are telling us we are in our ‘last decade of action.’ What we do or fail to do in the next decade to cut our greenhouse gas pollution in half will determine much about the future livability of this planet. So this is the time for bold action — before it is too late. That is exactly why we are here once again demanding change.”
Additional speakers at the rally included Jerome Foster II, a White House Climate Advisor; Roishetta Ozane, organizing director of Southwest Louisiana/Southeast TX for Healthy Gulf; Maria Lopez-Nunez, deputy director of Ironbound Community Corporation; Sen. Jeff Merkley and Rep. Raúl Grijalva. “Fire Drill Fridays,” a collaboration between Fonda and Greenpeace USA, plans to host rallies in the Gulf Coast and California in 2023.
