Jane Fonda Urges Young Voters to Act

Jane Fonda has urged young voters to actively participate in the upcoming elections, warning that their dissatisfaction with the Biden administration should not lead them to abstain from voting or support third-party candidates, as this could enable Donald Trump’s return to power. In a recent interview, she emphasized the necessity of combining street protests with effective electoral strategies to effect social change, referencing historical precedents. Fonda articulated that young people's engagement is crucial, particularly regarding pressing issues like the war in Gaza and climate change, and called upon them to mobilize in large numbers. Similarly, in Podgorica, local political candidate Nermin Abdić encouraged young people to vote and express their views, highlighting the importance of their participation in shaping their city's future. Both Fonda and Abdić stress that passivity among youth could result in decisions being made without their input, reinforcing the critical role of youth voice in democracy. With the 2024 presidential election looming, Fonda has declared her commitment to activism over acting, emphasizing the high stakes for the future.
