Common, Jane Fonda and the Scene at the Respect Rally in Sundance (Photos)
If you couldn’t make the Sundance Film Festival this year — or were too tied up at one of the several Women’s Marches popping up around the country — we’ve got you covered. Check out the pictures from the “Respect Rally” in Park City, Utah, which included several actors and activists from Sundance.
“Thor: Ragnarok” star Tessa Thompson spoke early at the rally, and didn’t hold back against President Trump. “Until we see legislation and policy and a president who respects our humanity…we must continue to gather and tell each other’s stories,” said Thompson.
Jane Fonda told the crowd it’s not just about rallying — it’s about organizing. “This kind of change doesn’t just come about through protest,” said the actress and activist. “It comes through organizing.”
