A 25-Mile March for Palestinian Liberation

May 26

Join us on a 25-mile march for Palestinian liberation this Memorial Day weekend, May 26th 🍉

👇Our vision statement:

As we grieve more than seventy-five years of unbearable loss of life and freedom in occupied Palestine, we are coming together to walk 25 miles—the length of Gaza—for justice.

We are a group of Palestinians and non-Palestinians; Indigenous and non-Indigenous; Black, POC, and white; Jews and non-Jews; Christians, Buddhists, and people of many faiths; settlers and immigrants, living on Duwamish and other Coast Salish land and united in our longing for the liberation of Palestine. We are disabled and abled, elders and young. We know ableism is at the heart of every genocide, and we welcome all bodies into this movement.

When we say “freedom from the River to the Sea,” we call for universal freedom and safety for everyone from the Mediterranean Sea to the Jordan River. We call for universal access to food, water, shelter, education and medical care. We call for freedom of movement and freedom of expression regardless of religion or ethnicity.

When we say “freedom from the River to the Sea,” we long for true liberation for all peoples beyond false borders. Our conscience calls us to forcefully and unceasingly demand an end to the continuing Israeli expulsion of Palestinians. We know that there is no military solution. True safety and freedom must be collective. We are unequivocal in our vision: one state, called Palestine, with equal rights for all.

We are walking toward the world we yearn for: Indigenous sovereignty restored, land held as sacred, not as property, and an end to all systems that exploit, extract, and kill. We are walking for peace, life, and liberation, from every river to every sea.

Will you walk with us?
