Actress Susan Sarandon Arrested at NY Capitol Protest for Fair Wages

Actress Susan Sarandon was arrested along with seven other activists at a protest in support of raising the minimum wage for tipped restaurant workers at the New York state Capitol. The group was advocating for One Fair Wage and were arrested for disorderly conduct while trying to spread a banner across the concourse. Sarandon spoke at the rally before her arrest, emphasizing the importance of treating these workers with dignity. The state of New York is preparing to increase the minimum wage to $17 an hour, but tipped restaurant workers are excluded from this new law.
