YOU'VE BEEN DOING IN D.C.

MANY OF US WANT TO KNOW.

EXPLAIN WHAT THIS IS?

>> WELL, WE'RE FACING A REAL CLIMATE CRISIS.

I DON'T KNOW IF YOU ALL ARE AWARE OF THE EXTENT TO WHICH WE

ARE IN MAJOR TROUBLE, TAWN SCIENTISTS AGREE, IT'S

UNANIMOUS.

THERE ARE NOT TWO SIDES TO THIS STORY.

AND WE HAVE ACCORDING TO THE SCIENTISTS, TEN YEARS TO STOP

ALL NEW FOSSIL FUEL, TO PHASE OUT WITH THE JUST TRANSITION

EXISTING FOSSIL FUEL.

PREFERABLY PASS THE GREEN NEW DEAL, ALL KINDS OF ISSUES HERE

SPECIFIC TO CALIFORNIA.

LIKE THERE ARE ALL THESE PUMPS THAT ARE RIGHT IN COMMUNITIES

WITHIN 500 FEET OF HOMES AND SCHOOLS AND HOSPITALS AND YOU

KNOW DOCTORS SAY THEY HAVE TO BE AT LEAST 2500 FEET AWAY.

THERE ARE SO MANY PROBLEMS.

BUT WE ARE IN MAJOR -- SO I DECIDED TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION

THAT I NEEDED TO DO SOMETHING TO USE MY CELEBRITY TO DO SOMETHING

TO CALL ATTENTION.

WAKE PEOPLE UP AND GET THEM TO BE WILLING TO PUT THEIR LIVES ON

THE LINE!

(APPLAUSE) >> SO I MOVED TO D.C. FOR FOUR

MONTHS A EVERY FRIDAY WE HAD THIS ACTION THAT WE ENGAGED IN

CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE AND RISK GETTING ARRESTED.

AND IT'S 10,000 PEOPLE NOW.

IT'S GONE UP JUST THOUSANDS IN THE LAST FEW DAYS.

10,000 PEOPLE WANT TO DO IT WHERE THEY LIVE.

WE ARE TAKING IT GREENPEACE AND I ARE WORKING TO TAKE IT

NATIONAL AND 10,000 PEOPLE HAVE SIGNED UP SAYING THEY WANT TO DO

IT IN THEIR CITY.

AND WE'RE STARTING HERE IN LOS ANGELES, SEPTEMBER -- FEBRUARY

7th.

FEBRUARY 7th AT 11:00 AT CITY HALL.

>> James: NOW YOU'VE BEEN ARRESTED, YOU'VE BEEN ARRESTED

FIVE TIMES.

>> YES.

>> James: HERE YOU ARE HERE, THIS IS YOU BEING TAKEN AWAY IN

HANDCUFFS.

NOW REALLY!

THE FIRST TIME THAT YOU'RE TAKEN AWAY, BY THE POLICE, IS IT

SCARY?

IS IT A SCARY THING TO GO THROUGH?

>> I'M -- FOR ME, IT WAS -- AND I KNOW A LOT OF MY FRIENDS

THOUGHT THE SAME WAY I DID.

THERE'S SOMETNG -- IT'S VERY HARD TO FIND A SITUATION WHERE

YOU CAN ALIGN YOUR WHOLE SELF, YOUR BODY WITH YOUR DEEPEST

VALUES.

IT'S LIKE STEPPING INTO WHOLENESS AND IT'S VERY, VERY

EMPOWERING.

BECAUSE YOU KNOW WHY YOU'RE DOING IT.

YOU KNOW THAT IT'S THE RIGHT THING TO DO.

IT HAS TO BECOME THE NEW NORMAL.

WE ALL HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO DO THIS.

(APPLAUSE) >> James: BUT JANE, HOW ARE

THE -- HOW ARE THE POLICE WITH YOU?

>> OH I'M WHITE, YOU KNOW!

RIGHT?

>> AND FAMOUS, VERY FAMOUS.

>> WHEN YOU'RE WHITE AND FAMOUS, THEY DON'T TREAT YOU THE SAME AS

YOU'RE A PERSON OF COLOR.

I'M VERY WELL AWARE OF WHITE PRIVILEGE AND WHAT THAT MEANT.

(APPLAUSE) >> BUT YOU KNOW YOU LOOK AT WHAT

MARTIN LUTHER KING DID WITH CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE, WHAT GANDHI

DID WITH CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE.

IT CAN BE VERY EMPOWERING, AS EVERY YEAR THAT GOES BY WE HAVE

TO GET MILLIONS OF PEOPLE READY TO PUT THEMSELVES ON THE LINE,

SHUT DOWN GOVERNMENT TO MAKE THIS HAPPEN, BECAUSE IT'S THE

FUTURE.

CHILDREN ARE JUST TRAUMATIZED AT THE IDEA THAT THEY MIGHT NOT

HAVE A FUTURE!

>> James: NOW ILY YOU WERE ARRESTED AT A RALLY.

IT MUST HAVE BEEN NICE BEING ARRESTED WITH JANE KNOWING SHE'D

GONE THROUGH IT AND KNOWS WHAT THE PROTOCOL IS AND ALL THAT, IS

THAT RIGHT?

>> SHE WOULDN'T SHARE ANYTHING WITH ME.

SHE SAID BE AT ONE WITH YOUR PERSON AND YOUR VALUES AND JUST

DO IT.

SO I DID AND IT FELT VERY, VERY GOOD.

(APPLAUSE) >> James: STICK AROUND.

WE'LL BE WITH THESE TWO WHEN WE COME BACK!
