Stars Wear Red Pins to the Oscars to Call for Ceasefire in Gaza
The red carPet wasn't the only eye-catching red item at the 96th Academy Awards on Sunday night.
Several stars including Grammy winner Billie Eilish and Oscar nominee Mark Ruffalo wore red pins representing Artists4Ceasefire, five months into the Israel-Hamas war. More than 30,000 people have been killed since the war in Gaza began in October.
The pins feature an orange hand with a black heart inside, surrounded by a red circle.
“The pin symbolizes collective support for an immediate and permanent cease-fire, the release of all of the hostages and for the urgent delivery of humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza," the group said in a press release.
