Longtime peace and justice activist Ted Glick is continuing a month-long hunger strike ahead of the presidential election as he hopes to encourage undecided voters to support Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden. Glick launched a hunger strike on October 3 and will conclude it on Election Day. He spoke to Democracy Now! last night.

Ted Glick: “I’m on day 27 of what will end up being a 32-day fast to defeat Trump. I’ve lost 30 pounds so far. I’m doing this to underline the urgency of our situation and how people who get it on how bad Trump is, they need to vote for Biden, in the battleground states, in particular. We need to stand up now for our rights, our people, our climate, and doing it by getting Trump out of there.”
