In 1970, Jane Fonda was arrested while marching with indigenous people during the occupation of Fort Lawton in Seattle, Wa. Forty-five years later, the Academy Award-winning actress says she’s willing to be placed in handcuffs again while defending British Columbia’s coast from oil tankers.
“I have a hit TV show now. If I get arrested it’ll bring even more attention to the issue,” Fonda deadpanned in an interview with The Canadian Press. “I hope I get arrested.”
Fonda, currently starring in the Netflix comedy “Grace and Frankie,” was in Vancouver on Saturday to speak at a Greenpeace rally. Protesters at the “Toast the Coast” event were planning to demonstrate against oil sands development, tanker traffic and Arctic drilling.

That will be easy now with the passing of Bill C-51…:D
I kinda hope she gets tortured too 😉
why yikes?
… and I won two Oscars, so nyaaaah!
… but I do agree with Jane; I hope she gets arrested.
Have any of you taken a stand for something you believe in, or is it just easier to criticize others that do?
I agree with what she is doing, but Bill C-51 may discourage other people from doing the same…which is so sad, that it has come to this…:D
