Amidst the ongoing South by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas, a significant number of performers and speakers have decided to cancel their appearances. The reason behind this mass cancellation is a demonstration of solidarity with the people of Gaza. Additionally, the protest is also directed against a major event sponsorship from the U.S. Army.
The decision to withdraw from the festival comes as a form of support for the individuals affected by the conflict in Gaza. By taking this stand, the performers and speakers aim to raise awareness about the situation and show their opposition to the ongoing events in the region.
