Leftist college students to forgo food if Congress doesn't pass Democrats' voting reforms

A group of college students from Arizona has threatened to endure a second hunger strike if Democratic voting reforms are not passed by Congress before Jan. 17.

"We're prepared to hold out indefinitely now that the holidays are over," Leila Winbury, a junior at Arizona State University, said.

"I have seen the consequences of a broken democracy my entire life, so we're willing to suffer the consequences of hunger striking rather than the consequences of the bill not passing."

Whether or not Winbury and her group can hold out "indefinitely," the college student promised that this second hunger strike would be "a lot bigger" than the 15-day strike the group endured in December, according to a report.

"Nationwide hunger-striking, more than likely," she said.

That strike, which saw the group travel to Washington, D.C., ended when President Joe Biden pledged to prioritize the Freedom to Vote Act's passage.
