For her first protest of the new year, Fonda was joined once again by GraceandFrankie co-star Sam Waterston, as well as YoungSheldon star Iain Armitage.
back in October."And so I decided to use my celebrity to try to raise the sense of urgency, and I moved to Washington, and I'm going to get arrested every Friday."
The protests, which Fonda refers to as"Fire Drill Friday," are to show support for a Green New Deal and bring awareness to the ways in which climate change affects other parts of human life, such as women's rights, access to drinking water and global militarism. As if it wasn't enough that the actress -- who first became a controversial political figure for her activism during the Vietnam War, which earned her the nickname"Hanoi Jane" -- continues to get arrested in the name of raising awareness, she's also making bigger headlines by bringing along her famous friends to join in the demonstrations and don her now-signature red.

"The young climate strikers have been very, very instrumental in making this shift to where we’re talking about fossil fuels," Fonda praised in a social media video."We should be very grateful to the young people and the students who are sacrificing so much to call our attention to it. You know, you can’t solve a problem if you’re not naming it. And so today we want to name it in a big way. Because to slow down and stop the climate crisis, we must stop burning fossil fuels.
