“Make no mistake: empathy is not weak or ‘woke.’ And, by the way, ‘woke’ just means you give a damn about other people.” ~ Jane Fonda at the SAGAwards

“Jane Fonda’s full speech on empathy is one that truly blows away any speech of the year from any award show. ‘This is our documentary moment’ indeed. Empathy is our job.” SAGAwards

“Watch the full speech here.”

Empathy is what this moment needs: not hate, not weakness. Empathy is resilient, and vulnerability takes bravery. Caring must be married with grounded strength, but hate and violence and machismo are not strength.
