Jane Fonda Gets Arrested Again While Protesting for Climate Change Awareness in Washington D.C.

Jane Fonda is going to jail again.

The 82-year-old Grace & Frankie star, along with her co-star Sam Waterson, was just arrested on Friday (October 19) while protesting on the steps outside of the U.S. Capitol building in Washington D.C.

She was arrested for doing the same thing one week ago, and pledges to continue to do so.

Jane and a group of protestors were handcuffed and put into a police van as part of what she’s calling “Fire Drill Fridays.” She’s vowed to demonstrate outside the Capitol every Friday.

“White plastic ‘handcuffs’ were put on each of us, we were taken to the nearby police station for a few hours. The plastic handcuffs hurt more than the metal ones and I discovered that it’s not easy for an 82-year-old to get in and out of a police paddy wagon without the use of her hands. All the police women and men were super polite and nice. There were about 16 of us all together, divided into 2 cells with the doors left open. We used the time, a few hours, to organize and plan. Then we each paid $50 (Fire Drill Friday provided the funds for those who didn’t have) and were released. We then walked to a nearby coffeehouse and debriefed,” she wrote of her first arrest a week ago.
