Some at the scene showed support for the strikers by fasting or meditating. Others such as Lee Hung-hsi, a professor of law at National Taiwan University, gave speeches, while the Taiwan Association of University Professors together with social activist groups staged a 1,000-person march in support of the strikers.
現場除了有人以禁食、靜坐等方式表達支持，台大法律系教授李鴻禧等人也發表演說，台灣教授協會則是結合社運團體發動千人遊行，聲援絕食活動。
