Climate Defiance Joined by Steven Donziger, Jane Fonda to Protest Biden Fundraising Dinner
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here in New York City, activists with the newly formed group Climate
Defiance rallied near a $25,000-per-plate campaign fundraising event
attended by Biden. They demanded Biden halt the controversial Willow
project in Alaska and take other actions that would help combat the
climate crisis. Human rights lawyer Steven Donziger and actor Jane Fonda
joined the action Wednesday.

Jane Fonda: "This is the time for civil disobedience, right? We've been
polite. We've marched. We've protested. We've written. We've made
speeches. We have to up the ante now. To save the planet and our future,
the window on that is closing rapidly. And we have to do something about
it, and we have to be very brave."
