Jane Fonda relaunches her father's McCarthy-era free speech initiative

Jane Fonda has revived her father's Committee for the First Amendment, a free speech initiative, to combat government efforts to silence critics across various sectors. The relaunched committee, backed by nearly 600 entertainment figures like Whoopi Goldberg and Spike Lee, draws parallels to the "McCarthyism" era. Fonda stated this is the "most frightening moment of her life," emphasizing the need to counter fear and silence with artistic resistance, as demonstrated by a recent celebrity outcry over Jimmy Kimmel's temporary show suspension.
