Jane Fonda links the 'climate crisis' to racism: 'Everything's connected'
Fonda was one of 16 people arrested on the Capitol steps at a Washington, D.C., climate change rally in October 2019
Actress Jane Fonda, 85, blamed the "climate crisis" on racism during an interview on "The Kelly Clarkson Show."
Fonda appeared with her "80 for Brady" co-stars Lily Tomlin, Rita Moreno and Sally Field on the talk show this week to promote their new movie and reflect on what motivated them to get involved in social activism.
"For me, it was learning about the Vietnam War," Fonda said. "And when I really understood what that was about, I couldn't not do anything except try to join the movement to stop it."
Clarkson asked Fonda how she branched out to other areas of activism, to which the actress suggested it wasn't much of a stretch.
"Well, you know, you can take anything - sexism, racism, misogyny, homophobia, whatever, the war," the actress said. "And if you really get into it, and study it and learn about it and the history of it and everything's connected. There'd be no climate crisis if it wasn't for racism."
