He is amassing power in a way that will destroy our democracy. And so were going to stand up. Were creatives. Were storytellers. We can do it creatively. We can have a good time while we do it."
"we want to make a model of what creative non-violent non-cooperation looks like. That doesn't mean just showing up for people who are under attack like Jimmy Kimmel. A lot of us signed that ACLU statement protesting what happened to Jimmy Kimmel, but we want to be proactive and we want show what that can look like and violence will not be tolerated.

Jane Fonda relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment to confront heightened threats to free speech and other freedoms. She warns that a president is amassing power by sending troops into Democratic cities and attempting to control the Federal Reserve, actions she says could destroy democracy. She calls for creatives and storytellers to practice creative, non-violent non-cooperation, to push back proactively, and to model solidarity, love, and unity while explicitly rejecting violence. She references a long history of activism and expresses regret over a Vietnam-era photo.
