At a private home on the west side of Los Angeles in late January, two worlds collided: the grassroots environmental activists working in our city's low-income communities--where toxic oil wells drill near homes and schools--and the the celebrity-activist firepower of Jane Fonda.

It might be shooting the next season of Grace and Frankie that brought Jane back to Los Angeles, and we are excited to partner with her and a handful of her friends in "the industry" to launch the Fire Drill Friday movement here in Los Angeles. Together, we are facing a common enemy: the fossil fuel industry that drives the climate crisis and pollutes neighborhoods from South Los Angeles to the Harbor.
