Variety @Variety - Jane Fonda has relaunched the Committee for the First Amendment, a McCarthy-era initiative founded in the 1940s by her father, Henry Fonda, to protect against attacks on free speech.
"The McCarthy Era ended when Americans from across the political spectrum finally came together and stood up for the principles in the Constitution against the forces of repression. Those forces have returned. And it is our turn to stand together in defense of our constitutional rights," Fonda said in a statement. "We refuse to stand by and let that happen. Free speech and free expression are the inalienable rights of every American of all backgrounds and political beliefs — no matter how liberal or conservative you may be. The ability to criticize, question, protest, and even mock those in power is foundational to what America has always aspired to be."
The Committee has already received the support of more than 550 A-list names, including Gracie Abrams, Quinta Brunson, Kerry Washington, Natalie Portman, Aaron Sorkin, Spike Lee, Viola Davis, Pedro Pascal, Ben Stiller, Whoopi Goldberg, Sean Penn, John Legend, Damon Lindelof, Julianne Moore, Janelle Monae, Barbra Streisand, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Ethan Hawke, Judd Apatow, Billie Eillish, Anjelica Huston and Rosie O’Donnell.

“Hakeem Jeffries said it was racist, and I know that he said that, and I honestly don’t even know what that means.
“Like, is he a Mexican-American that is offended by having a sombrero meme?”
