Cynthia Nixon said that the protest was against the high casualty count in Gaza resulting from Israeli strikes. The numbers have now risen past the civilian toll during the Aghanistan-US war.

On her decision to join the hunger strike, the actress said, “We are here hunger-striking just to sort of mirror to Biden the kind of deprivation that is happening in Gaza and how he has it within his power to make a ceasefire happen.”
