'The most disturbing part of it was seeing the people in jail and realizing that this country doesn't choose to put enough resources into social safety nets and mental health services.' Janefonda is opening up about her night in jail
The 81-year-old screen legend talks future climate-protest buddies , why Obama dropped the ball on climate, and the origin of her already iconic arrest outfit as she makes her case to Hollywood to join her in D.C.:"Having celebrities there means a lot."That's the main message the 81-year-old icon wants to relay as she speaks tofrom a train heading from New York City to the nation's capital for a fifth straight week of climate protests and arrests.
They for decades have been very anti-military. They've focused on cutting Pentagon budgets and ending wars. And so they wanted to come down to speak at the Fire Drill Friday focusing on military, war and climate change.I ask my celebrity friends. Like last week, Catherine Keener and Rosanna Arquette were there. Ted Danson has long been an activist and advocate on oceans, and so I specifically invited him to come for oceans. Bobby Kennedy Jr.
But what we're protesting now is a ticking existential time bomb that encircles everything — everyone's life, the economy, health, the military, national security, everything. We are facing a real catastrophe. The science tells us we have 11 years to make systemic changes in order to prevent it from becoming uncontrollable.
I don't remember. Engaging in civil disobedience? Disturbing the peace? Incommoding! I think that's it. "Incommode." After the third arrest, they gave me a court date in November. And because I was arrested again before my court date, that's when they said, "Well, you're going to have to spend the night in jail." I have to be careful not to get to a point where they're going to keep me for 90 days because I have to begin preparing forin January.
