Political activist Jane Fonda really came on the Standing Rock scene when she threw a Thanksgiving dinner for many of the thousands of DAPL protestors back in November of 2016. She donated five slaughtered Bison and some yurts. But Ms. Fonda didn t just dine and dash, she took her No-DAPL stance out west and staged a protest on the streets of Hollywood in December of 2016. A little over four years later, In February 2021, Jane was joined by a ton of Hollywood celebrities speaking out against the Dakota Access Pipeline.
