Are you ready to talk about plastics? Here’s the truth: they are in our air, water, food, and even bodies! Science is showing that — unsurprisingly — this is likely a BIG problem for our overall health.

So what do we do with this info? Join actor and activist, Jane Fonda, for a conversation with experts and activists about how plastics could be affecting us and what we must do about this global health crisis.

Featuring: Leonardo Trasande, MD, MPP (Director, NYU Langone Center for the Investigation of Environmental Hazards) and Bonnie Wright (Actor, Writer, and Climate Justice Advocate).

We will see you LIVE on Friday, November 3 at 11am PT / 2pm ET right here on YouTube.

“Hot Labor Summer” was so fierce that we’re still feeling the heat! From Assembly Bill 421 to curb corporate power in California politics to United Auto Workers who are on strike nationwide for a fair contract and a just transition as we make the shift to EVs, it’s clear that when labor and climate movements partner to build power — we win, together.

Join actor and activist, Jane Fonda, for a conversation with powerful labor movement leaders on why it’s more important than ever for environmentalists to show up in solidarity with workers fighting for dignity and justice.

We will see you LIVE Friday, October 6 at 11am PT / 2pm ET right here.

Firefighters. Did you know California has a law banning the sale of new gas-powered cars after 2035? Now, more than 17 other states are considering similar moves. When it comes to bold action aimed at protecting our planet and communities from climate disaster, how did the Golden State become a trendsetter for the rest of the nation?

Join actor and activist, Jane Fonda, and Distinguished Professor of Sociology at the University of Southern California, Manuel Pastor, Ph.D., for an enlightening and lively conversation about why the future of our climate – and politics – may lie with California.

Hey Firefighters! Remember last fall when we came together not once, not twice, but three times to block Senator Manchin’s Dirty Deal that attempts to fast track oil and gas projects across the country? Well guess what — it’s BACK — and we must defeat it once and for all.

Mark your calendars for our next Fire Drill Fridays Live Show TOMORROW on Friday, June 2 at 11am PT / 2pm ET where Jane Fonda welcomes Anthony Rogers-Wright, Director of Environmental Justice for New York Lawyers for the Public Interest, to break down the undead Dirty Deal and discuss solutions to clean energy that are rooted in truth, science, and justice.
