This week, Susan Sarandon ended up in handcuffs after being detained for demonstrating at the Albany, New York, State Capitol. Thelma and Louise actress reportedly participated in a demonstration against a new law that exempted restaurant employees who receive tips from receiving the same increase in the minimum wage as those who do not.
Though initial plans do not include restaurant employees who are typically tipped, New York state legislators have confirmed plans to raise the minimum wage to $17 an hour. As a result, many One Fair Wage activists, including Hollywood legend Sarandon, showed up at the New York State Capitol.

Members of the group are seen in protest video attempting to cover the concourse with a large pink banner before the police intervened and made arrests. Those handcuffed for disorderly conduct included Sarandon. The activists underwent processing before being later released with appearance tickets. Thelma and Louise actress discussed the importance of defending the rights of restaurant workers before being taken into custody.
