Happy birthday to Jane Fonda — in jail?
Fonda has been protesting weekly during her Fire Drill Fridays since announcing she was moving to Washington"to be closer to the epicenter of the fight for our climate." Her participation has ended in multiple arrests.the"Grace & Frankie" star was arrested alongside several other protesters Friday. Of the 138 arrested, two were kept overnight, Fonda's rep Ira Arlook told USA TODAY, adding Fonda was released later that night.
Notable celebrities arrested at Fonda's previous protests include Sally Field, Sam Waterston, Ted Danson, Diane Lane, Piper Perabo, Rosanna Arquette and 11-year-old actor Iain Armitage. "I never would have expected my life to get so much fuller and, in some ways, more meaningful as I moved into my 8th decade," Fonda wroteTuesday."But I’ve heeded the call of Greta Thunberg, who was just named Time’s person of the year, left my comfort zone, and moved to DC to carry out weekly climate actions called Fire Drill Fridays. When I started, I didn’t know if the actions and the teach-ins that precede them would gain traction. It’s clear to me now that they have.
Fonda continued:"The fossil fuel industry has controlled the U.S. government and too many other governments for far too long. This is the last possible moment in history when changing course can mean saving lives and species on an unimaginable scale."
