- Story Text: Actor and activist Jane Fonda, age 81, on Friday (October 18) was arrested on the steps of the United States Capitol after launching "Fire Drill Fridays", a protest inspired by young climate strikers.
Protesters and activists gathered for the event chanted "We love you" and shouted "Jane" as the long-time activist was handcuffed, had a police photo taken, and was put into a police vehicle.
Earlier during her address Fonda had promised 'disruptive' climate protest and anticipated getting arrested.
Fellow actor and protester Sam Waterston was also arrested and taken into police custody.
