Jane Fonda is to promote her forthcoming tome What Can I Do? My Path From Climate Despair To Action with a virtual book club tour.
The 82-year-old Grace and Frankie actress revealed during an appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers on Tuesday that, as long as someone gave her a "good reason," she'd make a virtual stop by their book club.
Fonda noted that there were five million U.S. book clubs and promised to send those she met a signed copy of her book
All proceeds from sales of the new publication are being donated to Greenpeace, she explained, and interested book-club members could sign up to meet her at https://greenpeace.org.
The star has been a longtime climate change activist and, for the last six months, she's been hosting Fire Drill Fridays – which get people involved in advocating for environmental change.
She told Seth that she'd been inspired to get involved when she heard that not enough older people were fighting to raise awareness of the climate crisis.
"I said, ''Well, I'm going to answer the call, an ageing movie star'," she recalled. "I'll bop in there, and I'm going to try to make a difference and try to alert people to what's happening."
She continued: "When I was young, I thought that activism was a sprint, if I just go fast enough, everything can be fixed really quick. And then I got a little older, and I realized that activism is like a marathon, and I learned to slow down and pace myself.
"Now that I'm seriously old, I realize that it's really a relay. It's a relay race. You pass the baton," she reflected. Fonda already has been arrested five times while protesting on Fire Drill Fridays.
