Cynthia Nixon: Biden has the power to implement a ceasefire and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza

Cynthia Nixon - Tony, Emmy, and Grammy award-winning actor - joined by a group of activists and state legislators, launched a hunger strike at the White House in Washington, D.C., on 27 November, demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

Nixon mentioned that more civilians have been killed in Gaza than in "20 years of war in Afghanistan by the U.S. and U.S, allies".

She explained that for years, the Palestinian cause has been one that many have looked away from, and although "what's happening now is horrifying, at least it is making it impossible for people to look away anymore"
