DESCRIPTION:Join Hikers for Palestine at 12pm this Saturday, 9/5/26, for a walk around 
 Lake Merritt in Oakland.\n\nWe'll meet at the Lake Merritt Amphitheater, 
 located on Lake Merritt Boulevard between 12th Street and 1st Avenue. This 
 3.1-mile loop is considered an easy walk, with both paved and unpaved 
 sections, and typically takes between one to one and a half hours to 
 complete.  Street parking (both paid and free for up to two hours) is 
 available, along with nearby parking garages. Alternatively, the Lake 
 Merritt BART Station is less than half a mile from the amphitheater, about 
 a 10-minute walk.\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\nA donation of $5 to $20 is suggested to support Middle 
 East Children's Alliance (MECA), though no one will be turned away for lack 
 of funds; MECA’s staff and trusted local partners in Gaza are on the 
 ground responding to the most urgent needs of children and families, and 
 your contribution can help provide critical medical care, clean water, 
 food, and psychological support. We will be collecting donations on our 
 MECA page at
