Actress Jane Fonda reveals she's 'scared for our democracy' and to raise political awareness for the upcoming election she rolled up her sleeves and went door-knocking in the swing state of Pennsylvania.

Though she has two Oscars, four Golden Globes, and immeasurable accolades to her name, the 81-year-old returned to political activism earlier this month to canvass for Working America in a working class neighborhood in Scranton.

There, she spoke to disgruntled voters who to open up about their political views, their concerns in the upcoming election, and to educated them about Trump's policies.

'I’m scared. I’m scared for our democracy, for our ability to live together in community across lines of race, class and religion. I’m scared for my grandchildren and for the planet. The country is contorted and polarized, with the flames of hate fanned by leaders at the highest level,' she revealed in a Washington Post op-ed.

But she was surprised to realize just how powerful speaking face-to-face with voters can be.

'I saw a path forward recently in Scranton, Pennsylvania where I spent a hot, humid evening knocking on doors with Working America,' she said, adding she's hardly recognized and only gives her first name when she's canvassing.

Working Class, founded in 2003, is the largest non-union workers' organization in the U.S. and recruits people in working class neighborhoods to support labor-backed candidates in elections.

In her piece she recounted speaking with Steve, who is in his 40s and doesn't trust any of the candidates, Edith, a woman in 50s who likes Trump but not his fiery language, and Sharon, a gung-ho Trump supporter who didn't realize the president's health-care bill would mean her son's insurance would stop covering him due to his serious preexisting condition.

When she broke the hard news about Trump's health care bill to Sharon, she 'seemed to stop breathing for a moment.'

'I had no idea. I can't let that happen,' Sharon replied, stunned with the revelation.

'It’s voters like these we need to talk with — those who are dispirited and confused like Steve; ambivalent like Edith; and uninformed like Sharon,' Fonda wrote.

Fonda says having a respectful conversation opens the door for voters to hear and understand new information on issues they care about, assuring they have a more informed vote.

The actress says despite 'this mess' on Capitol Hill, the way to clear things up is straightforward - 'We outsmart the Facebook algorithms and digital foreign meddling by holding face-to-face conversations.'

'I've seen it. The process builds trust, and it sends a message: You matter enough that I'm here on your doorstep,' she said.

'I’ve seen the power of face-to-face contact since I became an activist five decades ago. In Modesto, California, I met some of the 800 volunteers who knocked on doors for more than a year before the 2018 election,' she said.

Fonda clarified that fear of reaching out is what can hurt an election.

Fonda has devoted herself to activism over the past five years. Pictured above speaking at the Respect rally, which honors the one-year anniversary of the National Women's March on January 20, 2018

'We don’t need to choose between Democratic base voters and swing voters. All working people, no matter their race, ethnicity, gender, faith, or sexual orientation or gender identity, need a stake and a say in our society — and they all need to hear that they’re part of "We the People."'

'Talking with them, not at them, is the best way to do it,' she added.

Now she's urging others to follow suit.

'I’ve learned over my long life as an activist that people can change... People such as Steve are looking for someone to help them sort things out and to dare to care again. We can start the process of healing and winning back our country one conversation at a time.'
