As anyone who watches *The Good Place* would say, HOLY MOTHER FORKING SHIRT BALLS! **Ted Danson** just got arrested after taking part in a climate protest on the steps of the U.S Capitol building.

The Hollywood star was taking part in Fire Drill Fridays - a weekly gathering of activists in Washington D.C calling for urgent government action to tackle the climate crisis. He turned up with fellow legend **Jane Fonda** who was handcuffed by police for *the third time in three weeks*.

Each week, activists who gather for Fire Drill Fridays highlight a different environmental issue. This week, the focus was on protecting our oceans.

Calling himself **Fonda's** "new trainee", **Danson** spoke to the crowds about the importance of sustainably managing fisheries.

The actors also held up signs saying "GET IN MOTION, HEAL THE OCEAN", joined in with the chant *"Grandmas for Greta"* and basically had a good time:

[**Jane Fonda** has relocated to Washington for four months](https://celebritykind.ghost.io/content/files/2026/09/jane-fonda-continues-to-highlight-climate-emergency-and-gets-arrested-again-9.html) to continue shining a light on the importance of climate action, to use **Greta Thunberg's** words *"because our house is on fire."*

Last week, her fellow *Grace & Frankie* star **Sam Waterston** protested alongside her and was arrested too.
