Woke just means you give a damn about other people,” the 87-year-old actor and activist said Sunday in her emotional speech.

In a fiery speech, Jane Fonda accepted the SAG Life Achievement Award at the 31st annual SAG Awards Sunday, first thanking SAG-AFTRA and her fellow actors amid a standing ovation and cheers and applause.

Those included workers rights, unions, fighting against inequality, and above all, care for the disenfranchised. “Make no mistake, empathy is not weak, or woke,” she said from the stage. “And by the way, woke just means that you give a damn about other people.”
