“What we, actors, create is empathy. Our job is to understand another human being so profoundly that we can touch their souls,” said Fonda, who was honored on Sunday night with SAG’s life achievement award. “And make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke. By the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.”

Jane Fonda urged Hollywood to "resist" and fight with empathy during current political climate in accepting her SAG Life Achievement Award.

The Hollywood legend earned a rousing ovation after saying "empathy is not weak or woke" while accepting the Life Achievement Award.
