Many Hollywood celebrities never shy away from standing up for what they believe is right. During the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike, we saw how every major movie and TV star walked the street to protest for the rights of the actors and the writers. The latest news is about actor Hunter Schafer’s arrest during a protest, who rose to popularity due to HBO’s Euphoria.
As reported by BNN Breaking, Hunter Schafer was protesting with the Jewish Voice for Peace community. They all were demanding a ceasefire in Palestine. The actor was present with many other activists at NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Center in New York. On The Late Night Show with Seth Meyers, US President Joe Biden was scheduled to appear, and the protesters wanted to disturb his appearance.
The actor from Euphoria was one of fifty people detained for calling for an end to the months-long Israeli-Palestinian conflict. A few of the actor’s fans shared pictures and videos of Hunter and others saying slogans, demanding Biden to call the ceasefire. In one of the videos, the protestors are holding a banner that reads -Jews to Biden, Stop Arming Genocide.
