Fire Drill Fridays is an exciting collaboration between Greenpeace and Jane Fonda to raise attention about the need for climate action equal to the scale of the problem, communicate a sense of urgency, provide accessible information about the climate crisis to demystify it, help people overcome their apathy and despair, and inspire others to act by taking bold action alongside known and trusted cultural icons. In just its first four months, Fire Drill Fridays has both ignited and tapped into the growing sense of urgency that something must be done - and it is clear that we are the ones who must do it.
