Once Again, Jane Fonda Protests Climate Change On Capitol Hill
Source: WUSA9
WASHINGTON — Jane Fonda is protesting climate change on Capitol Hill once again. Fonda vowed to protest and get arrested every Friday in D.C. as part of the weekly climate change rally, and has been arrested five times while protesting.
Her first arrest was Oct. 11, where she and 16 other demonstrators were taken into custody after protesting on the Capitol steps.
Demonstration activity is only allowed in designated areas on U.S. Capitol Grounds, according to the U.S. Capitol Police's website. U.S. Capitol Police said that all 16 people were arrested for unlawfully demonstrating on the East Front of the Capitol and were charged with D.C. Code 22-1307; crowding, obstructing or incommoding.
Fonda said the focus will shift every Friday, ranging from the Green New Deal to fresh water and forests. "We have to be sure that the crisis that is climate change remains front and center like a ticking time bomb," Fonda said. "We don’t have very much time, and it's really urgent." - See Video.
