On Wednesday, actress and silver-haired climate icon Jane Fonda announced that she is taking her activism to the next level by forming a new political action committee, or PAC, to defeat politicians tied up with Big Oil.
In a video released alongside the announcement, Fonda lays out the bleak realities of a Congress steered by lobbying money and reminds her audience that there are only a handful of election cycles left in the narrowing window scientists say we have to avoid climate disaster. Accordingly, the Jane Fonda Climate PAC's self-proclaimed goal is to do "whatever it takes to defeat the political allies of the fossil fuel industry, no matter which side of the aisle they're on."
