Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage

March 29 @ 10:30 am - 1:00 pm PDT

Be part of an international movement for peace.

“The Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage beckons to us as an opportunity not just to witness but to actively engage in the pursuit of peace. Let us unite in the spirit of nonviolence, a force that transcends borders and dismantles the structures of dominance. Together, we can create a legacy of harmony, resilience, and hope.” – Omar Haramy, Director of Sabeel Ecumenical Liberation Theology Center, Palestine

By walking together in solidarity, we call for:

  1. An enduring and sustained ceasefire in Palestine
  2. The immediate flow of humanitarian assistance, including food, fuel, and medical supplies
  3. The release of all hostages, including Israelis held hostage by Hamas and Palestinians held hostage in the Israeli prison system
  4. The end of occupation so a just peace can begin

More information about the global Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage movement can be found at gazaceasefirepilgrimage.com.

We acknowledge the Puyallup people, the traditional custodians of the land we will walk. We thank them for their ongoing stewardship of the lands that now sustain us.
