Actress Jennifer Lawrence said she will take a year off from acting to work with a political organization that aims to "fix our democracy."
The Academy Award winner revealed her plans during an ET interview Thursday that focused on Lawrence's upcoming movie "Red Sparrow."
"I'm going to take the next year off," Lawrence told ET. "I'm going to be working with this organization I'm a part of, Represent.Us ... trying to get young people engaged politically on a local level."
She added: "It doesn't have anything to do with partisan [politics] ... It's just anti-corruption and stuff, trying to pass state-by-state laws that can help prevent corruption, fix our democracy."
The group's website says, "We bring together conservatives, progressives, and everyone in between to pass powerful anti-corruption laws that stop political bribery, end secret money, and fix our broken elections."
