DESCRIPTION:Join Hikers for Palestine at 10am on Sunday, March 8, 2026, for a nature 
 walk through the beautiful Huckleberry Botanic Regional Preserve in Oakland 
 hills.  We'll hike on the 2.2-mile Lower/Upper Huckleberry Loop Trail, a 
 peaceful, shaded route that winds through lush greenery and rich native 
 flora. This moderately challenging route spans narrow dirt paths, featuring 
 a mix of flat stretches as well as some climbs and descents. Depending on 
 the pace, the hike typically takes between 1 and 1.5 hours to complete. 
 Please note that bikes and dogs are not allowed on this trail, and poison 
 oak is present, so please use caution and wear appropriate clothing.\n\nWe 
 will meet at the Huckleberry Preserve parking lot at 7087 Skyline Blvd, 
 Oakland, CA 94611. The parking lot is small and often fills up quickly, so 
 we’ll likely need to park on the street. Be sure to allow plenty of time 
 to find a spot. \n\nOur purpose is to bring visibility to the Palestinian 
 cause in public spaces while nourishing our spirits through community and 
 nature. Bring your keffiyehs, flags, and other symbols of Palestinian 
 solidarity, as well as water, snacks, sunblock, layers, and comfortable 
 walking shoes.\n\nWe are suggesting a $5–$20 donation to support the HEAL 
 Palestine Orphan Program, though no one will be turned away for lack of 
 funds. We will be collecting donations via Venmo or cash to contribute a 
 collective lump-sum donation. \n\nIn Gaza, thousands of children have lost 
 parents, homes, and their sense of safety. HEAL Palestine has identified 70 
 orphaned and sole-survivor children in urgent need of long-term, 
 comprehensive support. Their Orphan Program provides these children with 
 stability, education, emotional care, and essential resources to help 
 rebuild their lives.  Learn more at:
