Jane Fonda joins Tom Steyer at climate awareness event

politicsMay 7, 20261861

Jane Fonda joined Tom Steyer at a Thursday campaign climate event, speaking to promote climate action just days after the death of her ex-husband Ted Turner. Tom Steyer is running for California governor and has attracted support from environmental NGOs while facing a public dispute with Pacific Gas and Electric and questions about his investment holdings. Fonda's appearance injects high-profile attention into the climate debate and raises the stakes for Steyer as voters weigh energy accountability and a candidate's billionaire background.

I read a credible report that Tom Steyer has taken huge amounts of money for his campaign from billionaire Tom Steyer Troubling if true

If Jane Fonda is supporting Tom Steyer because of his 10+ years of climate and other activism with her, then he is a viable candidate for me. I would rather have Katie Porter, but unfortunately she’s not getting high enough in the polls. We need to ensure the repubs are out of the race.

I was on Your Call with Rose Aguilar on @kalwradio.bsky.social talking about @cbdactionfund.bsky.social's Environmental Scorecard and why Tom Steyer is the only candidate to earn an A grade. Tune in and check it out! ➡️ www.kalw.org/show/your-ca...

Is anyone else surprised that Jane Fonda is endorsing Tom Steyer for Governor of CA?

This is typical rich bs. What has Steyer and Jane done for anyone who is unhoused?

Hate to say it but he’s looking like the best candidate. Becerra comes is way too bureaucratic. At least that’s been my impression so far.

Because he’s one of their biggest financial donors — Billionaire environmentalist Tom Steyer donated $250,000 to the Jane Fonda Climate PAC during the 2023-2024 election cycle. It’s really easy to see why she endorsed him.

that_sue_is_a_writer › Jane Fonda 04/08/26 ... Very disappointed in Jane/ @janefondaclimatepac for endorsing Tom Steyer. I was just at a small event with her and asked who she was endorsing after hearing about their thorough vetting process for candidates. She said they had not decided. I then said, I hope it is NOT someone who has supported for-profit prisons. She looked very uncomfortable. Now this. @janefondaclimatepac how could you support the man who helped make Core Civic's ICE prisons??? → • 120 Q18 G 44 > 3 that_sue_is_a_writer › Jane Fonda 04/08/26 • • • Is this because he is a supporter of your PAC? Here more on their connections: Jane Fonda and Tom Steyer share a strong professional friendship centered on climate activism, with Fonda endorsing Steyer's 2026 campaign for California Governor through her Climate PAC. They frequently collaborate on environmental advocacy, with Fonda calling Steyer a "clear climate champion". They have hosted discussions on his climate-focused book, "Cheaper, Faster, Better"

And yet Bernie's Our Revolution has endorsed BILLIONAIRE Tom Steyer for CA Governor. A billionaire who sunk millions into private-for-profit prisons and the fossil fuel industry (coal), and shelters his billions from taxes in the Cayman Islands. Make it make sense. I voted Becerra.

The California Federation of Teachers endorses Tom Steyer for Governor – they say he is a leader who understands the challenges Californians face and who has outlined a clear path to shared prosperity as a rising costs-of-living push educators out of the communities they serve.

tom steyer talks about this as well in a recent volts interview, they are talking about increasing the population coming with a necessary increase in services that need to be provided without money set aside for it.

Has #Tomsteyer been asked in any debate or interview if he intends to put his investments into a blind trust, should he be elected governor of California?

Tom Steyer in CA. Another rich white guy. And assholes like Jane Fonda and Willie Brown are stumping for this,...not sure we'll ever learn. All political positions should have term limits, prohibit financial gains, require politicians to use the same healthcare the population uses, etc,...
