Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope

Jane Fonda on How to Turn Rage Into Hope

Jane Fonda has been fighting for social justice for over five decades, but in the past year, she’s kicked things up a notch.

The iconic actor and activist talks to Kara about how to fight for democracy and the environment when both are under attack. She breaks down her PACs electoral strategy, explains why artists’ voices matter, and how to use action to beat back depression and despair. And she shares a couple secrets for living well at any age. Questions? Comments? Email us at on@voxmedia.com or find us on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok, Threads, and Bluesky @onwithkaraswisher.
