Euphoria Star Hunter Schafer Arrested at Pro-Palestine Protest Urging Biden Administration Action

Euphoria Star Hunter Schafer Arrested at Pro-Palestine Protest Urging Biden Administration Action
  • PublishedFebruary 28, 2024

In a recent turn of events, Hunter Schafer, renowned for her role in the teen drama series Euphoria, was reportedly arrested during a pro-Palestine demonstration at NBC’s 30 Rockefeller Center in New York. The protest, organized by the Jewish Voice for Peace and involving around 50 activists, aimed to draw attention to the pressing need for a ceasefire in the ongoing Israel-Palestine conflict.

The demonstration was strategically planned to coincide with U.S. President Joe Biden’s appearance on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Hunter Schafer’s arrest underscores the growing pressure on the Biden administration to reassess its position and actively advocate for a ceasefire in the region.

Known for her role as Jules Vaughn in HBO’s Euphoria, Hunter Schafer has become a prominent voice not only in the entertainment industry but also as an advocate for various social causes. This arrest is not the first time Schafer has made headlines for her activism. She was previously listed on Teen Vogue’s 21 Under 21 list in 2017 for her efforts against anti-LGBT legislation and recognized by Time in 2021 as one of the “100 emerging leaders who are shaping the future.”

The incident brings attention to the broader involvement of celebrities in socio-political causes, with other notable figures like Susan Sarandon facing consequences for comments made at pro-Palestine rallies in the past. Schafer’s arrest underscores the complex intersection of entertainment, activism, and global issues in the public sphere.
