Jane Fonda on her climate activism journey and the stakes in the 2024 election: "We can't lose another 4 years"

She may be an actor on screen, but she's an activist at heart. Between calling for an end to the wars in Vietnam and Iraq, rallying with the women's movement, and fighting for Indigenous rights, Jane Fonda has marched and protested nearly her entire life. 

But five years ago, as she walked under a hazy orange sky filled with wildfire smoke, she felt like she still hadn't done enough. This was not the bucolic and smog-free California she experienced growing up at the end of a dirt road in the Santa Monica Mountains. 

"This is way beyond what I thought it was," she told CBS News. "This isn't just about the environment. This is about the whole planet."
