Jane Fonda used her Screen Actors Guild Lifetime Award speech to warn her fellow actors about impending political decisions … saying they need to look out for one another — ’cause a whole lot of bad is headed their way.
The veteran actress spoke at Sunday night’s ceremony … and, while the at-times rambling speech touched a number of different topics, the crux of the speech was a warning to her fellow stars.
Jane focuses on empathy in the address … saying actors get to open people up to a variety of new ideas and concepts, and stars would need every bit of their empathy in the days ahead.
Fonda says empathy ain’t weak or “woke” — the latter term meaning that you just “give a damn about other people” according to the star.
Jane adds that a whole lot of people are going to be hurt in the coming days … and, actors need to make sure they’re looking out for everyone who is affected — regardless of political party affiliation.
Interesting enough, Fonda never mentions President Donald Trump by name … but, it seems clear she’s referring to his administration’s policies in her speech.
Jane says this is the “documentary moment” — listen to the speech all the way through to hear what she means by that.
As you know …Fonda’s been an activist for years — fighting for the environment, voting rights and host of other liberal causes.
She’s one of many stars at the show Sunday … and, she’s telling them that they’ll need to trade their high heels for combat boots — ’cause a big fight is coming.
