In fact, a remarkable group of over 400 celebrities have come together under the Artists4Ceasefire campaign. Their collective voice urges President Joe Biden and the US Congress to call for an immediate end to the violence. While the pins may not have been as widespread as previous movements like Time’s Up, they carried a powerful and poignant message.
At the 2024 Oscars, several celebrities proudly showcased their solidarity. Singer Billie Eilish, her brother Finneas, actors Mark Ruffalo, Ava DuVernay, Ramy Youssef, Mahershala Ali, and many others wore the pin, making a heartfelt statement on the red carpet.

Among them were actors Milo Machado-Graner and Swann Arlaud, who displayed their support by wearing pins featuring the Palestinian flag. Their presence highlighted the urgency for a ceasefire and an end to the war.
Ramy Youssef, a comedian and actor, emphasized the need for action, stating, “There’s no other route.
