Actress and activist Jane Fonda will be joined by her “Grace and Frankie” and “9 to 5” co-star Lily Tomlin at a climate protest outside the U.S. Capitol on Friday.

The rally will mark the 12th consecutive Friday that Fonda has led protests in Washington, D.C.

The protests, known as “fire drill Fridays,” have seen a slew of activists and fellow actors take part. They include Brooklyn Decker, Sally Field, Taylor Schilling, Kyra Sedgwick and Sam Waterston, among others.

The protests call for “fast action” on the Green New Deal and “an end to all new fossil fuel exploration/extraction & taxpayer subsidies to oil companies." This week’s demonstration specifically is set to address how climate change affects the world’s forests, according to a statement shared with The Hill.

The protests typically end with a civil disobedience demonstration on the steps of the Capitol Building. Fonda has had to avoid putting herself in a position to be arrested during certain weeks to avoid a 30-day jail sentence in Washington, although she has been arrested during other rallies.

Fonda credits teen climate activist Greta Thunberg with inspiring her to protest, after Thunberg launched her own “Fridays for Future" protests in her native Sweden.

She told The Washington Post ahead of the first "fire drill Friday" that “I’m going to take my body, which is kind of famous and popular right now because of the series, and I’m going to go to D.C. and I’m going to have a rally every Friday,”

“Greta said we have to behave like it’s a crisis,” She continued. “We have to behave like our houses are on fire.”
