Michigan residents may have received a shock when they opened their doors to canvassers only to realize they were being visited by Jane Fonda
Kamala for Michigan posted a video featuring the 86-year-old actress greeting a homeowner in Ann Arbor.
In the video, Fonda said, “I’ve never done it for a president, but this is most important. We have to, have to, have to get [Harris and Walz] elected.” She then hugged the resident, who thanked Fonda for the visit.
Jane Fonda told an Ann Arbor crowd on Monday it’s not just four years that would be lost if Donald Trump gets elected president again.
“We lose if he gets elected,” she said, referring to the fight against global climate change.
“We can’t lose four years,” Fonda said. “We have to cut our emissions in half by 2030. We’re going in the wrong direction and we’re going to be galloping in the wrong direction if Trump gets elected. We cannot allow that to happen.”
Fonda recalled the first time she ever canvassed door to door was for her Michigander husband, the late Tom Hayden, a founder of the Students for a Democratic Society at the University of Michigan in the 1960s who went on to become a state lawmaker in California.
“I learned so much talking to people, finding out what they thought, what they cared about, and I think especially in the middle part of the country, people want to be heard,” she said.
Fonda and Hayden were married in 1973 and the California couple visited Ann Arbor a number of times over the years for various causes, including their Campaign for Economic Democracy tour in October 1979.
