Lily Tomlin Arrested at Capitol Hill Protesting Climate Change
--------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., comedy icon Lily Tomlin was arrested this weekend
at a Fire Drill Friday protest on Capitol Hill - a weekly climate
justice civil disobedience organized by Oscar-winning actor Jane Fonda.
The recent Fire Drill Friday came as youth activists also took to the
streets around the world for the last Fridays for Future strike of this
year. This is Jane Fonda speaking to fellow protesters on the steps of
Capitol Hill.

Jane Fonda: "This movement has been unbelievably successful. Already
we've taken $11 trillion out of banks that are underwriting fossil fuel
expansion."
