Our House Is on Fire
If our house was on fire we would run out into the street. Wouldn't we? Well, that is just what Jane Fonda is doing – and asking us to do. She has started a campaign to draw attention to our current climate emergency saying: "We must act to save the planet from irreversible damage!" For four months, through the end of January, she is standing in front of our nation’s capital urging our leaders and all of us respond to this climate crisis. Her campaign is called FIRE DRILL FRIDAYS and is intended to support and uplift those of the youth climate movement. The Green New Deal is at the core of these demands – to transform our economy to 100% clean, renewable energy.
Why did she move to Washington, D.C. and take on this campaign?Jane is a grandmother and an elder who is concerned for the future for those she loves. Watch her video and learn more about why she has moved to Washington and upended her life.

I was so impressed with Jane's courage that I joined her, and Ted Danson, in Washington on October 25th. Each week the rally has a different focus – and that week it was the oceans. We learned not only about the terrible damage that is being done to our oceans, but also how ocean repair could occur if we had the political will. I intend to join her again, and again. I am so grateful that she is leading the way and inspired by her courage, her assessment of what is happening, and her determination to be a part of the solution. Our house is on fire! We have an emergency and we have to get out into the streets with our neighbors and put out this fire!
What Can You Do?
- Watch Jane’s video; look at her website and learn more
- Talk with your friends: “Did you hear what Jane Fonda is doing now?”
- Call your elected officials. Tell them that you want them to support the Green New Deal. Call them again – next week!
- All over the country, our youth are striking on December 6th, urging support for the Green New Deal. Find your local strike, gather your friends and attend together!
it’s 3:23 in the morning
and I’m awake
because my great great grandchildren
won’t let me sleep
my great great grandchildren
ask me in dreams
what did you do while the planet was plundered?
what did you do when the earth was unraveling?
surely you did something
when the seasons started failing?
as the mammals, reptiles, birds were all dying?
did you fill the streets with protest
when democracy was stolen?
what did you do
once
you
knew?
