DESCRIPTION:Dear Community, \n\nInterfaith 4 Ceasefire and IM4HI invites you to join 
 our pilgrimage as public witness for the Palestinian Right of Return — 
 and to affirm the human right to remain, return, and migrate.\n\nOn Sunday, 
 June 8, 2025, we will journey 22 miles from Alameda to Berkeley, retracing 
 in reverse last year’s pilgrimage route. This distance mirrors the path 
 from Rafah to Gaza City, taken in prayerful solidarity with those displaced 
 by violence and war. Our pilgrimage is part of the global Gaza Ceasefire 
 Pilgrimages movement, which continues to grow in power and spirit. \n\nWe 
 will gather as people of diverse faiths, cultures, and communities who 
 believe in the sacredness of life, dignity, and shared well-being.\n\nWe 
 are organizing this pilgrimage because the violence funded by U.S. tax 
 dollars in Gaza is not separate from the violence our communities 
 experience here — through systems of incarceration, family separation, 
 displacement, and criminalization that target immigrants, Indigenous 
 people, unsheltered neighbors, trans and BIPOC communities.\n\nBy 
 participating, supporting, or volunteering, you help nurture spirit, heal 
 hearts, and build solidarity in our shared pursuit of peace and justice for 
 our Palestinian siblings.\n\nWe will participate prayerfully, knowing that 
 we each pray and show up in different ways. We will come together to 
 express love and solidarity, to embody remembrance and resistance, and to 
 channel our grief and anger into purposeful action.\n\nDonations: 
 http://bit.ly/I4Cgive \n\nIn various pilgrimage traditions, generosity is 
 specifically invited and cultivated as a practice. Offerings are made to 
 express gratitude, seal vows, or support the spiritual sites along the way 
 and at the destination. Rooted in these traditions and in line with the 
 global ceasefire pilgrimage call, we invite your generosity. \n\nFor more
