He will continue to fight for the causes he believes in.
Fonda, who is a tireless activist in causes such as climate change or women’s rights, he assured that this disease will not be able to stop it: “We live in one of the most consequential epochs in human history because what we do or don’t do now will determine what kind of future there is and I won’t let cancer stop me from doing what I can and using every tool I have. And that includes continue to build the Fire Drill Fridays community and find new ways to use our collective strength to bring about change. “.
He also asks that, as the search for a cure for cancer continues, let’s start analyzing “the causes to eliminate them” and give an example: “People need to know that fossil fuels cause cancer. Pesticides too, many of them based on fossil fuels like mine.”. We send her as much strength as possible because we cannot afford to lose frontline fighters like her.
