Last year in October, when over 50 celebrities in the US wrote an open letter to President Joe Biden urging a call for a ceasefire in Gaza and Israel, Joaquin Phoenix was one of the signatories. In the fundraiser organised by the NGO Medical Aid For Palestinians, Phoenix has donated a signed poster of Joker and another poster of his 2017 film You Were Never Really Here. The second poster was also signed by his co-star Lynne Ramsay.
