Jane Fonda, while accepting a lifetime achievement award at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, stressed the need for empathy and unity in times of political turmoil. At 87, she urged attendees to resist the negativity surrounding them by fostering understanding rather than judgment, stating, 'woke just means you give a damn about other people.' Although not mentioning Trump directly, she implied a warning about impending difficulties faced by many. Fonda, a longtime political activist, reflected on past struggles for civil rights and the climate crisis, advocating for solidarity within diverse communities.
Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke...woke just means you give a damn about other people.
A whole lot of people are going to be really hurt by what is happening, what is coming our way.
we need to call upon our empathy and not judge but listen from our hearts and welcome them into our tent.
I believe Americans are currently facing the same kinds of challenges that have been captured in historical documentaries about social movements.
