- Press Release, 'Jane Fonda & Greenpeace Bring Fire Drill Fridays to Los Angeles; Kicking Off First Rally at City Hall on February 7 at 11 AM.' Greenpeace, Jan. 28, 2020.

Channeling the energy of the past few months, the movement will launch its next phase across California; bringing together activists, actors, and environmentalists to demand leaders address the climate crisis.



Los Angeles, CA - After three months of iconic protests to demand leaders act to address the climate crisis in Washington D.C, Jane Fonda and Greenpeace USA are bringing Fire Drill Fridays to California. On Friday, February 7th at 11AM PST, Fonda and Greenpeace USA Executive Director Annie Leonard will launch the next phase of Fire Drill Friday protest rallies at City Hall in downtown L.A. Once again, Fonda will be joined by friends, actors, activists, youth, Indigenous leaders, climate experts, and representatives from impacted and underrepresented communities.

“We are excited to build off of the extraordinary energy from our time in D.C. and bring our call for action to Los Angeles. During this key period where action is essential and inaction is criminal, we’re going to massively scale up to take on the climate crisis,” said Jane Fonda. “We know this is one of the last possible moments we have to change course and save lives and species on an unimaginable scale. The only thing that can stop the climate crisis is people organizing to demand change. So, on February 7th, we'll take to the streets of Los Angeles, and then we’ll expand to cities across the country until this crisis ends. We don’t have time to wait, so we hope you will join us on this next phase of Fire Drill Fridays.”

In Washington D.C., Fire Drill Fridays reached millions of people through weekly rallies and marches through the capitol’s streets, star-studded arrests at the Hart Senate Building, and live-streamed teach-ins from the Greenpeace USA headquarters...
