Week of Goodness
Redeeming our hostages through good deeds
The families of all the hostages have been running to the ends of the earth to do everything possible to help save our loved ones. But we have yet to see the result we want. We have decided to dedicate one week – from July 14th to July 21st – to surge goodness into the world. https://weekofgoodness.com/
Tuesday & Wednesday,
July 16-17
Good Deeds in the merit of the hostages
We want the hostages to come home to a better world, and we need to do our part.
Volunteer in your community! We’d love to see what you are doing, share your amazing work and inspire others by posting your volunteering here
Find out about the activities for the rest of the week here.
Sunday, July 21st marks the 289th day since 240 hostages were kidnapped from Israel and taken to Gaza. 120 of them, some of whom are American citizens, still remain captive there. Please – join us this Sunday to walk for all those still held hostage. The world cannot forget. Please bring posters and wear red.
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. 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.
Local leaders have been invited to join us, as have local clergy. Our group currently has over 155 members.
Same time, same place, until they’re all home. Gali Beh and Deborah Greene will be leading until I return in September. Much gratitude for how great this Run For Their Lives Group is! Join the ongoing WhatsApp group via this link: https://chat.whatsapp.com/BlkivM1xXBr2QzsETMBZTu
When: Sunday, July 21st at 1 pm
Meet-up: Corner of Pearl & 8th Street
