“This is an emergency. Ask the scientists, the farmer, the creatures in the sea,” Sarandon wrote. “Ask all those who have lost their homes from hurricanes, flood and fire, ask the endless stream of climate refugees, and the people of Flint, San Juan, and Standing Rock.”
“This is an emergency when our young people have no hope for education, for dream-making, because of insurmountable student debt,” she continued. “When teachers are forced to have additional jobs and when 40 hours of honest labor can still leave you in poverty. When homophobia, Islamophobia, transphobia and racism take lives, that is an emergency.”

“This is not the time for a ‘pathway’ to or ‘framework’ for incremental change. Emergencies require bold, visionary leadership. Senator Sanders believes in us and that together a better world is possible. He has been fighting for social, racial and economic justice his entire life, long before running for President, often before it was acceptable. Now it’s time for us to fight for him,” Sarandon concluded.
Sarandon has been a long supporter of Sanders, vocallyspeaking out on his behalfduring the 2016 presidential campaign after supporters Vermont senator were silenced.
“Bernie has ignited this spark and we’re not letting that go, and for anyone that thought this was a cult of personality, you’re wrong,” shesaid. “When we said it was a movement and not a moment, we meant it.”
A rep for Sarandon did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment in regards to her fall.
