For the second week in a row, Jane Fonda has been arrested while protesting climate change. Her "Grace and Frankie" co-star Sam Waterston was also present at the Washington, D.C., protest and placed under arrest.

A Twitter account for Fire Drill Fridays, an initiative which aims to have politicians address climate change, tweeted at 10:45 a.m. Friday morning that Fonda, 81, was "walking to the US Capitol to demand a #greeennewdeal." With several following her, Fonda was bundled up in a long red coat and wore a black hat.

"Scientists tell us the tipping point for catastrophe is only 11 years off," Fonda says in a video clip with the United States Capitol in the background. "But there is still time if we move quickly and ambitiously to prevent the worst impacts, by beginning the transition off fossil fuels to clean, renewable energy now."

In a letter shared to Fire Drill Friday's website, Fonda said she's "moved to Washington, D.C. to be closer to the epicenter of the fight for our climate."

She added: "Every Friday through January, I will be leading weekly demonstrations on Capitol Hill to demand that action by our political leaders be taken to address the climate emergency we are in. We can't afford to wait.

"Welcome to Fire Drill Fridays."

In addition to her recent arrests, Fonda was previously arrested for "drug smuggling" at the Cleveland Hopkins International Airport in 1970, according to her website.

"I was handcuffed and put in the Cleveland Jail, which is when the mug shot was taken," she writes. "I was released on bond and months later, after every pill had been tested in a lab (with taxpayers money!) The charges were dismissed and there were a few paragraphs hidden in the back of papers that they were vitamins, not drugs."

Reps for Fonda and Waterston did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
