Cross-country Ride Against War in Gaza Kicks Off

Bob Sanders is a 70-year-old activist, a member of New Hampshire Peace Action and the founder of Not In My Name, NH, a group of Jewish Americans opposed to Israel's violence against Palestinians.

At the end of May, after flying in to San Francisco on the 28th, Bob will embark on a cross-country bicycle ride for peace. He is calling it Ride Against War on Gaza (RAW GAZA); the message is one of protesting Israel’s war crimes against the Palestinian people. Bob has done similar rides based on a similar theme, and he is looking to repeat the feat. His ride is endorsed by Peace Action, the American Friends Service Committee and Jewish Voice for Peace. The web site for the ride is https://nhpeaceaction.org/event/raw-gaza-x-country-tour/.

On Friday the 30th, Bob will officially begin his ride in San Francisco at the Crissy Field Warming Hut, where Marine Drive meets West Bluff – with a send-off at 9 AM – to the East Bay via the ferry.

All are invited to join us…and we want to invite any bike-riders to begin the trip with him, and ride a mile or two, or many miles if desired. Let us know about any interest in being a rider. And let us know if you are in the East Bay, and we can keep you posted about possible events there on the 30th as well.
