Peace Activist Ted Glick Nearing End of Month-Long Fast to Defeat Trump
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

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."
