Susan Sarandon arrested at NY protest for fair wages.

Actress Susan Sarandon was arrested at the New York State Capitol in Albany while protesting for raising the minimum wage for tipped restaurant workers. She is the president of the organization One Fair Wage, which argues that the minimum wage increase not including tipped service workers negatively impacts women and single moms of color the most. Legislators passed the 2023-2024 $229 billion spending plan last week, preparing to increase the minimum hourly wage to $17.
