SUMMARY:Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage - Seattle
DESCRIPTION:Join us as we walk the entire length of Gaza (25 miles\, 41k) through Seattle as a pilgrimage and a communal act of solidarity with the people of Gaza.\nWe will be joining over 109 cities around the world led by Palestinian Christians during the season of Lent. In Seattle\, our pilgrimage is designed to be inclusive\, welcoming anyone interested in joining\, regardless of religious affiliation.\nWe will meet in Heritage Park (Corner of Market St. and Waverly Way) in Kirkland at 6:00am (free parking at 123 5th Ave)\, and journey together\, rain or shine\, around the north side of Lake Washington departing at 6:15am. Through this journey\, we aim to map the geography of Gaza onto Seattle\, making the distant reality of those living in Gaza more tangible and immediate to our local community.\nAs a spiritual journey and an act of protest\, participants are encouraged to reflect on the significance in their own way. There will be no collective religious exercises. We will be united by our journey and common desire for peace\, rather than specific religious practices. Together\, let’s take steps towards a future where peace and justice prevail for all.\nFULL DISCLOSURE: We have no resources to provide support for anyone who chooses to join us. We will simply provide our itinerary with an open invitation to anyone who wants to join for all or part of the walk. You are responsible for yourself and your needs.\nGaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage Objectives:\n1. Enduring and Sustained Ceasefire.\n2. Immediate flow of life saving food\, water\, aid\, fuel and humanitarian assistance.\n3. Release of all held prisoner or hostage.\n4. End of occupation so a just-peace can begin.\nRoute:\nThe route will be a loop starting in Kirkland\, circling around Lake Washington\, crossing the 520 bridge\, and ending back where we started in Kirkland. Exact route will be shared closer to the event. It will likely take between 10-12 hours depending on your walking speed and how many breaks you take. There will be no support vehicles. Each person should have their own plan in case they need to stop early.\nDo I have to walk the full distance?\nNo\, you are welcome to walk with us for as long or short as you’d like.\nWhat to bring for the day?\n-Water (we will map out locations to refill bottles)\n-Good shoes\n-Appropriate clothes for the weather\n-Food/Snacks (we will map out locations for purchasing food or restaurant options)\n-Phone (we will have a group communication thread)\n-Anything else you will need for an all day walk\nCan I bring signs and flags?\nYes. We encourage you to speak through symbols; wear keffiyehs\, bring Palestinian signs of sumud (steadfast endurance)\, carry flags\, symbols or signs.\nWe do ask:\n1. No demonizing\n2. No scapegoating\n3. No dehumanizing\nIs this a fundraiser?\nYes\, please raise funds and donate to organize that provide relief to refugees and displaced people in Palestine. Feel free to share where you are donating funds to in the event chat.\nMore info about the global grassroots movement:\nhttps://www.gazaceasefirepilgrimage.com\nPlanned Route:\nhttps://maps.app.goo.gl/PoDLij5PZULJ2SXC8
