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

Join Hikers for Palestine at 12pm this Sunday, November 15, to raise funds for MECA to assist victims of severe flooding in Gaza.

***Please note that we will proceed with the fundraiser in light rain, so come prepared with appropriate rain gear.

We’ll walk along the Ohlone Greenway, starting at Strawberry Creek Park in Berkeley and ending near El Cerrito Plaza. This five-mile, out-and-back urban trail is flat and paved and will take approximately two hours to complete. Along the way, we’ll pass through residential neighborhoods and sections that run alongside the BART tracks.


Our purpose is to bring visibility to the Palestinian cause in public spaces while nourishing our spirits through community and connection with nature. Bring your keffiyehs, flags, and other symbols of Palestinian solidarity, as well as water, snacks, sunscreen, layers, and comfortable walking shoes.

Meeting location: Strawberry Creek Park, 1250 Addison Street, Berkeley, by the Hidden Cafe.

A donation of $5–$20 is suggested to support the Middle East Children's Alliance (MECA). We’ll be collecting donations through our MECA fundraising page: https://secure.everyaction.com/P2P/L41t0naUUESu2R0bKJ6Imw2/bqQafT7VEfGO8gANOhS2QA2
