More than 70 recipients of The Game Awards' Future Class are calling for a statement to be read at next week's The Game Awards, on their behalf, in solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war.

You do that by being very visible and getting on the news consistently enough for people to decide to look more into it.

I wonder if maybe having a game awards show that will be covered in the news read this letter would be a good way to get on the news

Nah, it's a fluff piece that's only going to get posted to places like Lemmy.

Whereas if they'd been protesting outside the event, it would be all over CNN and Fox and MSNBC, right?

Maybe, depending on how large the protest was. I think chances are better if they did it at a state capitol or something.
