This is why people are wearing red pins at the Oscars

With everyone focussed on what celebrities are wearing at the Oscars, people have begun wondering why some are seen wearing red pins.

Just like any Oscar night, people at home are heavily focussed on what some of the greatest actors and actresses are wearing, but many noticed one thing that stood out this year.

Many actors and actresses at the Oscars have been seen wearing red pins on their dresses and suits and the people at home have begun asking what is the reason behind this.

Some of the attendees spotted wearing them included Billie Eilish and Finneas, Ava DuVernay and Ramy Youssef.

The pins have been worn by celebrities that have called for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war and were handed out by a group called Aritsts4Ceasfire.

The organization’s page also has an open letter to President Joe Biden calling for him to intervene to ensure that peace can exist in the region.

The letter to the President reads: “We come together as artists and advocates, but most importantly as human beings witnessing the devastating loss of lives and unfolding horrors in Israel and Palestine.

“We ask that, as President of the United States, you and the US Congress call for an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel before another life is lost.

“More than 30,000 people have been killed over the last 5 months, and over 69,000 injured* – numbers that any person of conscience knows are catastrophic. We believe all life is sacred, no matter faith or ethnicity and we condemn the killing of Palestinian and Israeli civilians."

Biden has been calling for a ceasefire and has said talks are ongoing to ensure that they come to fruition sooner rather than later.

Ahead of Islam’s holy month of Ramadan, (beginning March 10) he said: “Ramadan's coming up and there has been an agreement by the Israelis that they would not engage in activities during Ramadan as well, in order to give us time to get all the hostages out."

Due to the ongoing war, the US proceeded to drop food in pallets over Gaza at the beginning of March.

Three planes from Air Forces Central dropped 66 bundles containing about 38,000 meals into Gaza on March 2.

“The amount of aid flowing to Gaza is not nearly enough and we will continue to pull out every stop we can to get more aid in,” Biden added on social media.

U.S. Central Command said on X that 'the combined operation included U.S. Air Force and RJAF C-130 aircraft and respective Army Soldiers specialized in aerial delivery of supplies, built bundles and ensured the safe drop of food aid'.
