Whoa. “Arizona students stage hunger strike to urge Sinema to support voting reform” cc: @SenatorSinema 😥 1/ theguardian.com/us-news/2021/d…
“College students say they will be striking indefinitely until Arizona senator agrees to support Freedom to Vote Act” 2/
3/ “Since Monday, a group of 20 college students from the University of Arizona & AZ State have been on hunger strike in an effort to pressure … Kyrsten Sinema, to take action on the passage of crucial voting reform legislation.”
4/ These college students are putting their lives on the line for voting rights because they understand that the 2022 election is a life or death election. They are heroes.
5/ I heard about this article from @JimSoper.
A lot of people are responding with defeatism to the historic news of a college student hunger strike for voting reform. Pls consider amplifying their crucial effort rather than undermining it with this type of negative messaging. They are doing the hard work that we are not. TY.
10/ Here they are. Heroes, all of them. #AZHungerStrike4Democracy

OMG. Second month??? “Activist Joe Madison Enters Second Month of Hunger Strike for Voting Rights” 12/11/21 16/ pr.com/press-release/…
17/ The hunger striking students also said, “We are honestly confused and disappointed that President Biden hasn’t prioritized this more…We don’t understand why he’s not treating this existential issue [voting rights] w/ the urgency that we are…” @POTUS theguardian.com/us-news/2021/d…
19/ There are myriad ways to support @AZ4Democracy, the 20-plus college students who are on a hunger strike for voting rights (see screenshot below). Here is the Link: un-pac.org/arizona-hunger…
