And there\u2019s no question that the obstacle between saving the planet and not is the money that has a stranglehold on our politicians.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>Fonda went after both Democrats and Republicans for receiving millions of dollars in donations from the fossil fuel industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis money has consequences,\u201d she said. \u201cThe Green New Deal. Build Back Better. Clean Energy Investments. Ending billions of dollars in tax subsidies to the fossil fuel industry every year. All because of politicians backed by Big Oil.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLet\u2019s send a message to the politicians who are bankrolled,\u201d Fonda concluded. \u201cYou should be as scared for your careers as we are by the climate spinning out of our control.

She has since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/film\/2015\/jan\/20\/jane-fonda-hanoi-jane-photo-was-a-huge-mistake\">expressed regret<\/a> for taking the photo, charging that she never stood against American soldiers.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019, the Hollywood celebrity\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.hollywoodreporter.com\/news\/jane-fonda-arrested-fifth-time-protesting-washington-1264496\">was arrested<\/a>\u00a0while protesting for climate change in Washington, D.C., as part of her \u201cFire Drill Fridays,\u201d wherein she protested on Capitol Hill every Friday for the month of October to raise awareness for the anti-fossil fuel movement.
