Actress Sally Field was arrested Friday on the steps of the U.S. Capitol as she joined Jane Fonda and labor activists to protest the harmful effects of climate change on workers.
The demonstration, led by Fonda for a 10th consecutive week, resulted in 26 arrests, according to Capitol Police.
“I come with my heart and my voice,” Field said at the protest. “I am a mother. I am a grandmother. The time is now. We cannot sit back in our comfort zones, on our couches, and wonder, what can we do? We can get out, we can do something.”
Fonda, who credits Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg as the inspiration for the weekly "Fire Drill Friday" protests, highlighted how climate change will force workers and industries to make significant changes.
“Today we're going to focus on jobs, communities, and a just transition, a critical part of the fight for new green jobs," she said. "Many people don't know what we mean by just transitions — the climate emergency requires us to rapidly transition transform our energy system and key industrial sectors in ways that protect workers and impacted communities.”
A spokesperson for Fonda, who spent a night in jail after being arrested at an earlier climate protest in D.C., said she decided not to put herself in a position to be arrested this week so as to avoid a 30-day jail sentence.

Sally who?
Lol!!!!
You win the internet for today!
Gidget
Goes
To
Jail.
Just a few years ago she was nominated for an Oscar for playing a crazy lady in Washington in Lincoln. Maybe she’s hoping she’ll win it this time.
I guess Sally has nothing else to do this weekend.
In the last few years, Sally has made some incredibly vulgar remarks, mostly to do with politics.
May 2018:
“Comic” Samantha Bee called Ivanka Trump a Feckless C*nt after Ivanka posted a photo embracing her child. This the same week ICE was accused of ‘separating children from their parents at the border.”
After Samantha apologized (sort of), Sally Field doubled down, saying “I like Samantha Bee a lot, but she was wrong to call Ivanka a C*nt. C*nts are powerful, nurturing and honest!”
Their menopause days are long behind them!
Jane’s well into her 80s, Sally is 73, so both ladies watched those hot flashes at least 20 years ago!
Big whoop. Photo OP of the day. Burt Reynolds got the best of Sally.
McStain is buried at the Naval Academy. I suggest you stop at nearby McGarvey’s for ten or so pints before making the walk over to his final resting spot. Let me know when you plan to be there and I will join you.

Is there a foot-worn path from McGarcey’s to McStain’s?
Give her credit for doing “Not Without My Daughter.” They couldn’t even make that film today for being too honest. Every female under the age of 30 should be forced to watch it, especially if they have the notion of ever dating or marrying a “charming Mohammadan man.”
Oh my another celeb pulled into Jane Fonda’s web to protest climate change. Give it a rest. Take off for the holidays Jane and take your Hypocrisy with you.
Ask Jackie Spier.
Sally, you can “make a difference” by setting an example; Reduce your “Carbon Footprint” by not breathing for one measly hour. Duct tape your mouth and nose shut for ONE little hour.
Make a difference. BE the example.... Don’t breath for ONE hour.
And take Hanoi Jane with you.
I’m confused.
Why are they wearing coats?
The planet is heating up.
It’s strange that she was in the movie “Not without My Daughter,” which wasn’t pro-Islamic.
