In recognition of Jane Fonda’s lifelong commitment to climate advocacy, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors Tuesday will proclaim April 30 in honor of the beloved actress.
Supervisor Lindsey Horvath will lead the recognition and celebrate Fonda, who is expected to attend the ceremony Tuesday morning. As part of Earth Month, the supervisor is expected to highlight how Fonda has dedicated her life to raise awareness about environmental justice across the U.S., and the globe.
Last week, Horvath introduced a motion to proclaim April 30 as Jane Fonda Day in L.A. County.
“Jane Fonda is an American actor and activist whose contributions have left an indelible mark on entertainment and social activism, especially women’s rights and environmental advocacy,” the motion reads. “Throughout her illustrious career spanning decades, Jane Fonda has not only captivated audiences with her performances on screen but has also fearlessly championed causes that promote environmental sustainability, gender equality and social justice.”
