Educators, staff and students launch hunger strikes across the US

Educators, staff, and students across the United States are launching coordinated hunger strikes to show solidarity with Palestinians facing a widespread famine in Gaza. The action, organized by the group Educators for Palestine, is intended to pressure US lawmakers to intervene on behalf of children in the region. Participants feel a moral duty to protect children and are concerned that US tax dollars are funding military actions that harm them. The hunger strikes are described as a more active form of resistance and a way for teachers to model integrity for their students.
