Hollywood legend Sally Field on Friday joined a growing number of celebrities arrested at a weekly Washington protest on the steps of the U.S. Capitol against climate change inaction led by fellow actress Jane Fonda.
Field, along with environmentalist Winona LaDuke, urged Americans to get out of their comfort zones to fight the climate crisis.
“I come with my heart and my voice,” Field said at the protest. “I am a mother. I am a grandmother. The time is now. We cannot sit back in our comfort zones, on our couches, and wonder, what can we do? We can get out, we can do something.”
This is a possibility that is actually happening, we need to get out of our comfort zones now! – @sally_field #firedrillfriday pic.twitter.com/1qNEfRfn12

Twenty-five other climate activists were also arrested at the protest, now in its 10th week.
According to HuffPost:
Actors Ted Danson, Diane Lane, Piper Perabo and Sam Waterston have all been arrested at the Fire Drill Friday protests. Fonda has been busted a number of times.
The inspiration for the weekly protests was teenage climate change activist Greta Thunberg, Fonda has said. This week the focus was the expected effect from climate change on workers.
As Crystal Lee Sutton AKA Norma Rae says, “I knew the union was the only way we could have our own voice,” @sally_field calls on a just transition away from a fossil fuel economy including good union jobs for a green future #firedrillfriday pic.twitter.com/vxWZz4AFlQ
