‘How I Met Your Mother’ star Cristin Milioti urges fans to join protest against 'Israeli' war crimes

American actress Cristin Milioti, best known for her role as Tracy McConnell in the popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother, took to her Instagram story to share a call-to-action for an emergency mass march in New York City, demanding an end to 'Israel’s' war crimes and the US's role in enabling them.

The post, originally shared by organizers from the ANSWER Coalition, announces the protest will be held on Saturday, August 16, at 2 PM (GMT-4) on the steps of the New York Public Library in Bryant Park.

The callout condemns what it describes as the “US-Israeli blockade of Gaza” for creating a “devastating hunger crisis” that is killing Palestinians through starvation and malnutrition.

It also accuses US President Donald Trump of greenlighting what it calls Israel’s “starvation regime” and denounces US-backed entities for “weaponizing hunger” rather than ending it. The statement further alleges that Washington is now working with 'Israel' to condition aid on its plans for “full occupation” of Gaza.

“Now is the time to take to the streets,” the post urges, calling for a united front from “people from all walks of life” to stand against genocide and stop the “US-funded, Israeli famine”.

Milioti’s public endorsement adds her name to a growing list of actors, musicians, and public figures who have used their platforms to express solidarity with Gaza and call out Israeli policies.
