Jane Fondais sharing her love for film with her community of climate change activists.
On March 25, Fonda, 83, is hosting her first-ever virtual movie night with a screening of the Netflix documentaryChasing Coral, which will be live-streamed through theFire Drill Fridayswebsite.
“Fire Drill Fridays isn’t just a broadcast platform,” Fonda tells PEOPLE. “We are building a movement, a large and activated community willing and able to take action when called upon, so the more we feel we’re part of a community the better.”
The event will begin with Fonda welcoming the audience and making a “quarantini” cocktail from her kitchen (“I’ll be making a No Fossil Fuel Mule with a new carbon capture vodka, lime juice and ginger beer,” she says). During the screening, people will be able to group text chat and ask the actress questions for a Q&A immediately following the movie.
