LA County Reschedules 'Jane Fonda Day' After Vietnamese American Protests

The original date coincided with the Fall of Saigon, sparking backlash over Fonda's controversial Vietnam War stance.

Los Angeles County initially set 'Jane Fonda Day' for April 30, aligning with Earth Month.
Vietnamese Americans and lawmakers objected due to the date's association with the Fall of Saigon.
Jane Fonda's 1972 trip to North Vietnam and her anti-war activism were central to the controversy.
The Board of Supervisors voted to move the date to April 8, starting in 2025, to respect community concerns.
California hosts the largest Vietnamese population outside of Vietnam, amplifying the local impact.
