Hikers for Palestine: Walking in Solidarity with the Children of Palestine

Join Hikers for Palestine on Saturday, August 22nd at 12pm for an easy and restorative walk along the San Francisco Bay Trail. We’ll meet at the Seabreeze parking lot at the entrance to the Berkeley Marina (598 University Ave) and walk to the Emeryville Marina on a flat, paved, and easily accessible out-and-back route just over 6 miles out and back. The walk will take about 2.5 to 3 hours at a relaxed pace and features excellent views of the Bay Bridge, Alcatraz, Angel Island, and San Francisco, with rest breaks in the Emeryville Marina to take in the scenery.

Our 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.

A 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 https://secure.everyaction.com/P2P/L41t0naUUESu2R0bKJ6Imw2/bqQafT7VEfGO8gANOhS2QA2
