Rina Sawayama used her social media influence to draw attention to the ongoing situation in Palestine.
Sawayama posted a seemingly cryptic message on her Instagram story, “PIXELS SOMETHING VERY EXCITING TO SHARE WU…” accompanied by a selfie. This enigmatic teaser quickly captured the attention of her fans, who were eager to uncover what the singer had to reveal.
However, the next slide of her Instagram story shifted dramatically in tone. Sawayama shared a post from the BDS National Committee, which lists companies complicit in actions against Palestinians. Accompanying the post, she wrote, “Now that I have your attention we need to all make sure we’re doing everything we can for Palestine right now.”
The post from the BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) National Committee urged followers to boycott several major companies, including McDonald’s, Puma, Texaco, Chevron, Domino’s, Burger King, and Papa John’s, among others. The message read, “The only list of companies to boycott for their complicity in the genocide of Palestinians that you need to share.”
Following this impactful reveal, Sawayama continued her advocacy with a series of five more Instagram stories. These posts provided further information about the situation in Palestine and included a link to donate funds to support the Palestinian people.
Rina Sawayama’s creative use of social media to spotlight the Palestinian cause highlights the growing trend of celebrities leveraging their platforms for activism.
