AceShowbiz - Actress and comedienne Lily Tomlin has been arrested during a protest in Washington, D.C.
She became the latest celebrity to be taken into custody for participating in her "Grace and Frankie" co-star Jane Fonda's weekly Fire Drill Friday climate change rallies.
Before her arrest, Lily joined Jane to speak with fellow activists about how climate change damages forests, taking aim at companies which invest in deforestation.
"We have got to stop hugging and start saving the trees...," Tomlin said, while also urging people to stop cutting down trees for Christmas.
Fonda, who has led the protests for the past 12 weeks, has been arrested multiple times, while Hollywood supporters like Diane Lane, Ted Danson, Rosanna Arquette, Sally Field, and another "Grace & Frankie" star Sam Waterston have also been taken into custody for ignoring police warnings to move on.
