Now that her ‘Fire Drill Fridays’ protests on the steps of the U.S. Capitol Building in support of climate change are over, Jane Fonda has written a new book about her emergence as an eco-warrior. “What Can I Do?: My Path from Climate Despair to Action” is available on September 8.
Everybody’s interviewing Jane, and we share comments that got our attention. TIME’s Justin Worland asked Fonda about working with today’s activists. “Did you see parts of your activist self in them?”
Fonda: “Oh my God. They’re so much better than I was! I’m blown away. They are really smart. They’re also very depressed—these young people are carrying grief.”
Jane is pictured above with Sophia Kianni, 18, an American climate activist and writer specializing in media and strategy. She is the founder and executive director of Climate Cardinals, an international youth-led nonprofit that works to translate information about climate change into over 100 languages.
Greenpeace explains Jane is launching a project to join 10 virtual American book clubs devoted to the climate crisis. Book clubs are asked to post their own short videos explaining why she should join their book club.
Throughout the book Fonda weaves her personal journey as an activist together with climate talks with leading climate scientist on the state of the crisis. The book also discusses specific issues, such as water, migration, and human rights, to emphasize what is at stake.
New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd — she of a lifetime loathing Hillary fame — interviews Fonda for Jane Fonda, Intergalactic Eco-Warrior in a Red Coat. Only Maureen Dowd would not edit four “I”s — as in me, me, me — in the first three short paragraphs.
Fonda got two direct mentions, one “we” and Dowd snuck in a “me”. Score 5 Dowd; 2 Fonda; 1 draw. Dowd moves far beyond climate action, getting Jane to offer up juicy revelations about Marlon Brando and Marvin Gaye. Better than a hemp shake.
Dior Fall 2020 Women's Campaign by Paola Mattioli Honoring Marcella Campagnano
Dior’s Maria Grazia Chiuri presents the French luxury house’s Fall Winter 2020 campaign, lensed by Paola Mattioli. The campaign features Selena Forrest, Maryel Uchida, Maty Fall Diba, Estelle Chen and Felice Noordhoff, styled by Elin Svahn, with some models posing in a T-shirt printed with the Fall 2020 show’s name: “I Say I”. Fabien Baron was in charge of art direction and also production of an accompanying film. / Hair by Paul Hanlon; makeup by Peter Philips
The phrase belongs to Italian feminist Carla Lonzi, who was one of the figures who inspired the collection. Lonzi was an Italian art critic and feminist, best known as the cofounder of Rivolta Femminile, an Italian feminist collective formed in 1970. Read We Are All Clitoridian Women: Notes on Carla Lonzi’s Legacy.
The Fall 2020 Dior Collection and ad campaign was also inspired by Marcella Campagnano.

Ulla Johnson Fall 2020 Campaign by Yelena Yemchuk | Ulla's Tears for Jacob Blake
The spirits of female nomads permeate Ulla Johnson’s Fall 2020 collection, filmed in this new campaign video , shot in the unfamiliar terrain of Long Island’s North Fork and starring Indira Scott and Jordan Daniels. April Hughes styles the shoot with images by Yelena Yemchuk.
AOC is not surprised to visit Ulla Johnson’s Instagram and immediately discover a tribute to Jacob Blake. Any designer who works with artisans in Peru and Kenya, while living in Ft. Green, Brooklyn is probably committed to the Black Lives Matter movement. Ulla writes:
“This is Jacob Blake. He was shot seven times in the back in front of his children. The cycle of violence in our country must come to an end. The moment is now for us to join our voices in unison to demand change at the local, state, and federal level, to cast out the current regime, to retrain our police officers, to fund our social workers, to unite our actions against a system that perpetuates racist violence.”
At this moment, Anne hears activists in Washington, DC gathered on this important day in America’s racial history. Jacob Blake’s sister is speaking, as he lies in a hospital bed paralyzed— BUT SHACKLED !!! — to his bed.
Today is the 57th anniversary of the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, held in Washington, DC on Wednesday, August 28, 1963. It’s also the anniversary of the brutal murder of the young, 14-year-old Emmett Till in 1955.
It’s also my birthday, and so the day of August 28, — one that should be spent in quiet celebration — is always a day of deep reflection for me about America’s original sin of slavery. Even more painful is the reality that decades later systemic racism is worse than ever in our country — best exemplified by the presidency of Donald Trump.
