Lily Tomlin gets arrested!

Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda have been through so much together.

They starred in the classic film 9 to 5 together and are about to begin filming the sixth season of the comedy series Grace & Frankie.

Now they have also protested for climate change awareness side-by-side and on Friday in Washington DC and Tomlin was arrested for it.

“We have got to stop hugging and start saving the trees,” Tomlin told the crowd, while blasting one company, BlackRock, for investing in firms that do deforestation and immigration detention camps. She said that those immigrants include “climate refugees,” or those who move from their homes for reasons related to climate change.

“These corporations are making oodles of money on the front end, oodles of money on the back end,” Tomlin said. “It is beyond reprehensible.”

Fonda, who has been arrested five times in recent months, has been protesting weekly since October when she announced she was moving to Washington “to be closer to the epicenter of the fight for our climate.”
