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.

You dont get arrested just for protesting. What else did she do?
The Flying Dumbass.
Zip ties: the hip, new bondage fashion accessory. Ideally acquired while passively “resisting.”
The Flying Nut

These Hollywood has beens trying to gain media attention after years on the sidelines looking in.... Like kids doing crazy stuff to have their five minutes of fame on youtube.
I don’t think it counts when a celebrity gets arrested.
Sally Fields....”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.”.....
Right...like you couldn’t have been doing “Something” all your years of fame and fortune to spread your wealth around where it could be better suited than taking a day to stand on white house steps for a photo opt.

Wow, I didn’t even know she was still alive!
And people wondered why Burt kicked her to the curb.
She does not know the irony of wearing a winter coat during a protest of global warming.
These hasbeens are craving the lime light they once had
Id also settle for her getting shivved in holding.
