Ted Danson and Jane Fonda have been arrested while protesting climate change.
The two actors were both arrested on Friday as part of Fonda’s Fire Drill Fridays, a series of weekly demonstrations in favour of a Green New Deal.
It was the first time that Danson has joined the movement, and the first time he was arrested as part of a Fire Drill Fridays protest.
This Friday marked the third week in a row that Fonda was detained while demonstrating. During her arrest, she delivered an acceptance speech for an award she was due to collect later that evening.
Danson and Fonda were seen at one point marching together, reciting the slogan: “Get in motion, save the ocean.”
Photos of the arrests show both actors smiling while being placed in hand restraints.
Fonda is organising Fire Drill Fridays protests until January in an attempt to raise awareness and demand political action on climate change.
Her movement was inspired by Greta Thunberg.
Fonda says she has now moved to Washington, DC to be “closer to the epicentre of the fight for our climate”.
