Actress Daryl Hannah, who is also a very active environmentalist, was arrested Tuesday (August 30) during a protest against oil pipeline expansion project outside the White House in Washington, DC. The proposed pipeline, known as the Keystone XL pipeline, would run from Canada to the Gulf Coast.
Hannah was arrested along with more than 100 other protestors who sat on the sidewalk in front of the White House and they refused to obey the requests of the police to move away.
"Sometimes it's necessary to sacrifice your freedom for a greater freedom," Hannah said. "And we want to be free from the horrible death and destruction that fossil fuels cause, and have a clean energy future."
Her dedication to the environment have landed her in trouble. In 2006, the 50-year-old Kill Bill actress was arrested for protecting a community garden in LA. She also taken in to custody back in 2009 for protesting mountain top mining in West Virginia.
