On Saturday, March 30th, a group of people committed to peacemaking will be journeying in prayerful solidarity with all those suffering in Gaza, and calling for an immediate and sustained ceasefire.

We’ll start at Belafonte and journey through downtown, Maple Ridge, Greenwood, North Tulsa, and back to Belafonte. We will prayerfully walk 22 miles, the distance Palastinians walk, seeking safety as they flee from Gaza City to the Rafah Crossing refugee camp. With our bodies we will be prayerfully map the geography of Gaza onto our local communities.

“The power of the pilgrimage is to allow the geography of the horror happening in Gaza to become real in our home cities. On pilgrimage, in solidarity, we can start to transfigure our vicarious trauma into action as we realise in our bodies that 2 million displaced people can’t find shelter from bombardment no matter where they are in that small area.” — Jarrod McKenna

This walk is a local expression of a global movement of people embarking on pilgrimages of peace now spanning over 100 cities in 15 countries.

**You can walk the whole route with us, or simply join us for shorter sections.***

We are calling for:
-Enduring and Sustained Ceasefire.
- Immediate flow of life saving food, water, aid, fuel, and humanitarian assistance.
- Release of all hostages – both the Israeli hostages held by Hamas and the Palestinian hostages held in the Israeli prison system.
- End of occupation so a just-peace can begin
