Actress Daryl Hannah was arrested today as part of a sit-in near the White House in protest of a pipeline expansion project. She was one of 100 people booked by local police.
"We stand here today to just say no to slavery, to just say no to tar, sands, oil, and no to the Keystone pipeline," the Kill Bill star said, smiling, prior to being handcuffed, as first reported by CNN.
The protest focused on a huge expansion of a pipeline carrying oil from Alberta, Canada, to the Gulf of Mexico. The State Department will likely greenlight the deal before the year is over.
