US actors Joaquin Phoenix and Martin Sheen were arrested on Friday on the steps of the US Congress, charged with demonstrating without authorization during the last weekly concentration by organized climate by the interpreter Jane Fonda in Washington, known as "Fire Drill Fridays "(Fire Simulation Friday).
In this demonstration in front of the Capitol, the recently awarded a Golden Globe for his role in The Joker invited those present to stop eating meat as part of their fight against this crisis: "I urge you to join me, you too , Jane, "said the actor.
In addition to Phoenix and Sheen, known for his role as president of the United States in the series The West Wing of the White House , also attended the protest June Diane Raphael, Susan Sharandon and Amber Valletta.
The Joker and the president of the west wing were arrested along with another hundred people who were part of the demonstration against climate change.
A protest in which Fonda expressed concern about the danger of a new war following the increase in tensions between Iran and the United States and took the opportunity to invite those present to defend peace.
"The movement for climate and peace activism must move as one," said the leading actress of the television series Grace and Frankie.
Fonda also had words for those affected by the fires in Australia, which he said he carried in his heart.
One of the most surreal moments of the rally was when, by telephone, climate activist Bill McKibben participated in the protest while occupying the Washington headquarters of the Chase Bank, an intervention he was forced to finish when the police arrived at the building.
The "Fire Drill Friday" on Friday, which focused on the impact of banking activity on the weather, was the last manifestation of those organized for thirteen weeks ago by Jane Fonda in the capital of the United States due to her presence in the city for contractual obligations.

In addition, the environmental organization will support all those who want to organize a weekly "Fire Drill Friday" in their place of residence throughout the United States.
