So many are speaking out for Gaza and Palestine in general, in many important ways. Thanks for doing your part.
Here's an opportunity to participate in a local version of an international initiative to raise some crucial funds for direct aid to Palestinian refugees. UNRWA (see https://www.unrwausa.org/), the UN agency that operates schools, health clinics, food programs and more in Gaza and elsewhere. Some of us participated in the agency's San Francisco Gaza 5K run/walk events in years past. Last year it all went virtual, and we raised a fair amount of money -- but the plan for a local, Sacramento live event was foiled by intense smoke.
This year, together with all our fellow members in the Sac. Regional Coalition for Palestinian Rights, we're hoping for clear skies as we call again for participation in a local Gaza 5K run/walk, starting and ending at Southside Park, 6th and U streets. A route to Miller Park and along the Sacramento River will be marked for any who want to join the Sac for Gaza team.
Here's what you can do:
JOIN Team Sac for Gaza (https://getinvolved.unrwausa.org/team/358458) and help raise funds by hitting up all your friends and contacts and asking them to donate to your fundraising page -- it's easy to set up.
DONATE to our team (same link) in the name of the team generally, or click on any of the individual members listed.
SHOW UP on Saturday, June 12, for the company even if you won't be trekking. We'll start the walk/run at 9 a.m. sharp, to beat the heat. Afterward we will enjoy seeing each other again, exercise our solidarity souls and collect more donations. You're invited to bring snacks to share if you wish.
