“Never again means never again for anyone.”
Cynthia Nixon — known to most as Miranda from Sex and the City — has just revealed that her son is putting his body on the line for a cause he deeply believes in.
Her 28-year-old son, Seph Mozes, who is transgender and describes himself as an observant Jew, is currently on a hunger strike in Chicago to protest the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
Yep — this is serious.
What’s Going On?
Seph is part of a group organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, calling on the U.S. government to stop sending weapons to Israel and push harder for aid to reach starving civilians in Gaza.
He started the indefinite hunger strike on June 16 alongside five others — including two university professors — under the banner:
“Stop starving Gaza. Stop arming Israel.”
And despite being raised in a household of actors and activists, this is not just celebrity noise. Seph is taking real risks to stand for his beliefs.
Why This Matters
This isn’t just about politics — it’s personal.
Cynthia Nixon explained that Seph’s Jewish identity, shaped by the legacy of his Holocaust survivor grandparents, plays a huge role in why he’s doing this.
She says he told her:
“Use your voice. ‘Never again’ means never again for anyone.”
Nixon previously joined a similar hunger strike in Washington, D.C., in November 2023. She only fasted for two days, but says she was inspired by her son’s moral clarity.
Jewish and Pro-Gaza?
Some people see those identities as clashing. Seph doesn’t.
His protest directly challenges the idea that being Jewish means staying silent about what’s happening in Gaza. He believes that standing up for Palestinians is a Jewish value — rooted in empathy, history, and justice.
As Nixon put it:
“He is standing in this intersection as a trans person, as a Jewish person, and as a deeply moral person.”
What Now?
The hunger strikers say they won’t eat until U.S. support for Israel changes or aid flows more freely into Gaza.
As of now, the region remains in crisis, with millions displaced, food supplies dwindling, and massive roadblocks to humanitarian relief.
Cynthia Nixon hasn’t said whether she’ll join the strike again — but she’s made it clear: she fully supports her son’s activism.
TL;DR:
- Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon says her son Seph, a trans Jewish activist, is on a hunger strike in Chicago to protest the crisis in Gaza.
- Seph’s protest is rooted in his Jewish faith and the legacy of his Holocaust-survivor grandparents.
- The strike is organized by Jewish Voice for Peace and calls on the U.S. to stop arming Israel and start delivering real aid to Gaza.
Big story. Big conviction. And clearly, for this family, speaking up runs deep.
