I'm sharing this important message from Mark Ruffalo for those voting in California.

People say, “But Steyer is a billionaire!”
Yeah, that’s right, and so were Franklin Delano Roosevelt and John F Kennedy and yet they both enacted some of the most progressive policies in American history....

Look, we’re in the fight of our lives, and we can either laugh through the tears, or wallow in the madness. I choose JOY!

That’s why on May 31st, I’m bringing together some of my funniest friends for #StandUpForClimate in Los Angeles — a comedy show to save… everything!

Join me, and @chelseahandler @tiffanyhaddish @iamwandasykes @pattonoswalt and more!

In honor of Stephen’s last show today, we're going to keep standing up, speaking out, and using every tool we have — our voices, our work, our art — to make noise.

On behalf of all of us: Thank you, Stephen, for showing us how it’s done.

The Los Angeles City Attorney is a position few talk about, but it is one of the most important on the June 2nd ballot!The Office of the City Attorney is the legal engine for environmental justice in Los Angeles. As the second largest city in the nation, LA has a unique chance to set the pace for climate justice, BUT we need someone with the will and the know how to get it done!

That’s why JanePAC is standing with Marissa Roy @marissaroy_la for City Attorney.

Marissa is a civil rights attorney who’s spent her career taking on corporations and protecting working families. She’s taken action against Big Oil for deceiving the public about the impacts of fossil fuels and joined more than a dozen legal actions against the first Trump Administration.

Marissa needs our help as she tries to unseat an incumbent who is NOT getting the job done. Rush a donation to help her WIN – 🔗 in bio.

The First Amendment is not a given. It has to be defended, again and again, by people who refuse to stay silent.

That’s why on June 14th, I’m bringing Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment to Town Hall in New York City. I am so proud to share the stage with Rufus Wainwright, Bette Midler, Patti Smith, Joy Reid, Sasha Allen, and more extraordinary artists who believe that free speech is worth fighting for.

And if you can’t make it to New York, gather your friends and host a watch party.

Get your tickets now at www.riseupsingout.com. See you there.

#RiseUpSingOut#FirstAmendment

The First Amendment is under threat. Last week, the FCC threatened to revoke ABC’s broadcast license — another direct attack on a free press. We can’t stay silent.

That’s why we’re excited to announce Rise Up, Sing Out: A Concert for the First Amendment — live at Town Hall, New York City on June 14th.

Music has always been at the heart of every great movement for justice and freedom — from the civil rights movement to today. We’re proud to continue that tradition.

Join Jane Fonda, Rufus Wainwright, Bette Midler, Patti Smith, Sasha Allen, Joy Reid and more extraordinary artists to be announced who believe that free speech, free press, and the right to speak truth are worth defending.

MY IMMEDIATE THOUGHTS ABOUT TED He swept into my life, a gloriously handsome, deeply romantic, swashbuckling pirate and I’ve never been the same. He needed me. No one had ever let me know they needed me, and this wasn’t your average human being that needed me, this was the creator of CNN, and Turner Classic Movies, who had won the America’s Cup as the world’s greatest sailor. He had a big life, a brilliant mind and a soaring sense of humor.

He could also take care of me. That was new as well. To be needed and cared for simultaneously is transformative. Ted Turner helped me believe in myself. He gave me confidence. I think I did the same for him, but that’s what women are raised to do. Men like Ted aren’t supposed to express need and vulnerability. That was Ted’s greatest strength, I believe.

He also taught me more than any other person or school classes, mostly about nature and wildlife, hunting and fishing (hunters and fishermen who follow the law are the best environmentalists), but also about business and strategy. Ted was supremely strategic. It was likely innate, but he studied the Classics in college, knew about the Peleponesian War inside and out and the strategies used by Alexander the Great and even Genghis Khan. And sailing big boats as he did further honed those strategic talents which he then brought into his businesses to much success. He could see around corners for sure.

Next to Katharine Hepburn, Ted was the most competitive person I have ever met and that was fascinating to witness. Whether it was who’d made the most ski runs at the end of the day, to acres of land owned (stewarded is the more fitting word for his relationship to land), who had the most billions, how many countries he’d made love to his prior lover in and could I match that, it was challenging. Ted was challenging, but I’ve always been up for a challenge, and with Ted it was almost always worth it. CONTINUED IN COMMENTS BELOW

May Day will be a Workers Over Billionaires national day of action taking place tomorrow, May 1st.

Workers, students, and families will be marching, rallying, training, walking out, and taking action together, so our families and rights, not their fortunes, come first.No ICE. No war. Expand democracy, not corporate rule. Defend free and fair elections.

We understand work stoppage is difficult, especially for the workers who keep our country running. We ask you to do what you can to move this movement forward.

Visit maydaystrong.org to get involved or find an action near you. We deserve better.

DONATE TODAY, it’s the last day to DOUBLE YOUR IMPACT. Link in bio. 🍃

Walking alongside Wiña, a Waorani leader, @janefonda witnessed firsthand the knowledge, leadership, and resistance at the heart of Indigenous efforts to protect the #amazonrainforest.

Wiña has spent nearly 90 years living in and learning from the forest. But her knowledge goes back much further, handed down from her elders. She understands that stories are what power Indigenous life and resistance. Storytelling is an act of power and survival.

This #EarthDay, in honor of Wiña and Jane– two powerful storytellers– we’re calling on you to stand with Indigenous youth storytellers who are combining ancient practices with modern media tools to preserve ancient knowledge, defend their territories, and challenge the status quo.

Help empower the next generation of forest defenders!

DONA HOY: es el último día para DUPLICAR TU IMPACTO.

Caminando junto a Wiña, lideresa waorani, @JaneFonda fue testigo directo del conocimiento, del liderazgo y de la resistencia que están en el corazón de la defensa indígena de la selva.

Wiña ha pasado casi 90 años viviendo y aprendiendo del bosque. Pero su sabiduría viene de mucho antes, transmitida por sus mayores. Ella sabe que las historias sostienen la vida y la resistencia indígena. Contar historias es un acto de poder y de supervivencia.

Este #DíaDeLaTierra, en honor a Wiña y Jane, dos poderosas comunicadoras, te invitamos a apoyar a jóvenes comunicadores indígenas que combinan saberes ancestrales con herramientas modernas para preservar conocimientos, defender sus territorios y desafiar el status quo.

Ayuda a fortalecer a la próxima generación de defensores del bosque.
