Jane Fonda again arrested at climate change protest, this time with Grace & Frankie co-star Sam Waterston
It’s been one week since Jane Fonda was arrested outside the U.S. Capitol building, where the 82-year old has promised to post up every Friday through the end of the year to protest the government’s refusal to address climate change. She turned up again today, this time with a friend a tow—her Grace And Frankie co-star Sam Waterston, 78, stood by her side.
“Scientists tell us the tipping point for catastrophe is only 11 years off,” Fonda says in the below video, which was posted t her Fire Drill Fridays Twitter account. “But there is still time if we move quickly and ambitiously to prevent the worst impacts, by beginning the transition off fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy now.”
After photos emerged of Fonda and Waterston cuffed and detained outside the Capitol, USA Today confirmed with Fire Drill Fridays that the two were indeed arrested.
