This coming Sunday marks a big week for our group: over a year of walking. Our group hasn’t missed a week since Thanksgiving 2023 — in rain and snow and intense heat.
I am so grateful to be a part of Boulder Run For Their Lives. Please keep sharing our message widely. All of us, alongside members of over 200 Run For Their Lives groups worldwide, walk with one agenda only: LET THEM GO NOW.
Wishing all of you a peaceful Thanksgiving. Please walk wherever you are in solidarity with the 101 remaining hostages. If you are in Boulder this Thanksgiving weekend, please give an hour of your time and walk with our group downtown. Bruce Shaffer will be leading walks while I am out of town. We need all of you. Our community needs to see us out there.
Together, let’s keep showing up each and every week until they’re all home.
Join our Facebook group to see posts about each of the hostages. Copy and share them, add to their stories in the comments. Help keep the hostages in the headlines.
The local Boulder chapter of Run For Their Lives (part of the larger Bring Them Home Now initiative) has been walking in downtown Boulder every week. For the last year. Our group has about 220 members. There are multiple groups like ours meeting internationally and across US cities (including a local Denver chapter).
Our group meets at 1 pm on the corner of Pearl & 8th and walks the length of the Pearl Street Mall and back, stopping at the courthouse for a brief video that the leads of Run For Their Lives include in their weekly recap. The goal is to share the message far and wide (specifically via social media) that the hostages have not been forgotten. This is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release.
When: Sunday, December 1st at 1 pm
Meet-up: Corner of Pearl & 8th Street
