Jane Fonda rallies disaffected young US voters: ‘Do not sit this election out’

The Hollywood actor and activist backs Harris for president as she warns of climate emergency and talks Taylor Swift

Young people's understandable unhappiness with the Biden administration's record on oil and gas drilling and the war in Gaza should not deter them from voting to block Donald Trump from again becoming president of the United States, the Hollywood actor and activist Jane Fonda has warned.

I understand why young people are really angry, and really hurting," Fonda said. What I want to say to them is: Do not sit this election out, no matter how angry you are. Do not vote for a third party, no matter how angry you are. Because that will elect somebody who will deny you any voice in the future of the United States ... If you really care about Gaza, vote to have a voice, so you can do something about it. And then, be ready to turn out into the streets, in the millions, and fight for it.'"
