LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two days ahead of the Academy Awards, two-time Oscar winner Jane Fonda brought her Fire Drill Friday campaign against global warming to Los Angeles on Friday, demanding a dramatic reduction in carbon emissions over the next 10 years. The rally, which drew a crowd of a few hundred to the steps of City Hall, was the 15th that Fonda has held since last fall. The first 14 were in Washington, D.C., where she and others were arrested multiple times. Instead, she said she was excited to be home in Los Angeles because California, plagued by wildfires and drought in recent years, "is the front line of the crisis." Her audience, largely quiet until she took the microphone, ranged in age from young to old, with many carrying signs supporting the cause.
