Susan Sarandon, the Academy Award-winning actress, made headlines this week for her arrest during a protest in Albany, New York.
She joined members of One Fair Wage, a group advocating for the rights of restaurant workers, who were demonstrating against a new law that excluded tipped workers from receiving the same minimum wage increase as non-tipped workers.
During the protest, the group attempted to spread a large pink banner over the concourse while chanting “One fair wage!” repeatedly. However, the authorities intervened, and several activists were arrested for disorderly conduct, including Sarandon. The protesters were later released after receiving appearance tickets.
Sarandon, who is known for her political activism, has been a vocal supporter of restaurant workers’ rights. She believes that these workers should not be excluded from the minimum wage increase and should be treated with dignity and respect for their hard work. Her recent arrest has sparked conversations on social media, with many people expressing support for her cause and commending her for standing up for what she believes in.
