According to reports, the Thelma and Louise star was taking part in a protest against a new law that excluded tipped restaurant workers from benefitting from the same minimum wage increase as their non-tipped counterparts.
New York state legislators have confirmed plans to increase the minimum wage to $17 an hour, but initial plans exclude those restaurant workers who are usually tipped.
As such, activists with the One Fair Wage group turned out in force at the New York State Capitol, and Hollywood legend Sarandon was among them.
As per Metro, members of One Fair Wage – which also includes former New York lieutenant governor candidate Ana Maria Archila – took to the state Capitol concourse shouting “One fair wage!” repeatedly.
