Fire Drill Friday: Stop the Dirty Deal

Fri, 02 Dec 2022 16:00:00 GMT

Join Jane Fonda in Washington, D.C. for Fire Drill Fridays’ first in-person rally in almost three years! This Friday, activists, community advocates, environmentalists, and celebrities will come together in the Capitol to call attention to the growing climate crisis and to demand that Congress reject Senator Joe Manchin’s “Dirty Deal” and that President Joe Biden declare a climate emergency.

Jane will be accompanied by a number of speakers, including activists Jerome Foster, the youngest member of the White House Environmental Justice Advisory Council, Roishetta Ozane, Organizing Director of Southwest Louisiana/Southeast TX for Healthy Gulf, and Maria Lopez-Nunez, Deputy Director of Ironbound Community Corporation (ICC), as well as Senator Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) and Representative Raúl Grijalva (D-Ariz.).

Since going virtual in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Fire Drill Fridays has reached more than 11 million viewers. Washington, D.C. is the first of several cities Fire Drill Fridays plans to visit in the coming year. In 2023, it will host rallies in the Gulf Coast and California, areas of the United States already seeing the visceral changes brought on by the climate crisis – and whose communities are among the most impacted.

Join Jane in Washington this Friday!

WHEN: 11am EDT on Friday, December 2, 2022
