Since October, actress Jane Fonda, 81, has temporarily moved to Washington DC in order to help in the fight against climate change, where she has been holding a protest every Friday since. Fonda even got arrested in one of the protests for “crowding, obstructing or incommoding.” 

Last Friday saw the actress’ granddaughter Viva following in her grandmother’s footsteps, as the actress posted a photo of the two rebellious women where revealing Viva was arrested at last Friday’s march. 

Jane Fonda has been vocal about fighting climate change. The 81-year-old moved to Washington DC in October in order to focus on the cause, saying she was “inspired by the young Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg.”

Fonda has since held a protest ever Friday in DC, which has been dubbed “Firedrill Friday.”

In October, the actress was arrested on US Capitol steps for “crowding, obstructing or incommoding.” Her run-in with the law, however, was not enough to scare off the Oscar winner. 

“I will be on the Capitol every Friday, rain or shine, inspired and emboldened by the incredible movement our youth have created,” she wrote on her website. “I can no longer stand by and let our elected officials ignore – and even worse – empower – the industries that are destroying our planet for profit. We can not continue to stand for this.”

Last Friday, Fonda took to Instagram to post a photo of herself embracing her granddaughter, Viva. The caption revealed that Viva had been arrested.

“With my granddaughter Viva Vadim who got arrested with 38 others today,” the caption reads.
