Walk With Us For Those Still Held Underground

We walk for those who have been held underground for almost 23 months.

The protesters from last week will not deter us from keeping to the mission we’ve had from the beginning: a humanitarian walk for the hostages kidnapped to Gaza on October 7, 2023. Our walk is our way of saying we have not forgotten. We remember you, and we want you home. 

We will continue to walk peacefully in downtown Boulder. If there is a time we needed allies, it is now. 

May the hostages held in Gaza be swiftly returned to their homes and families.

As always, this walk is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release.

Sunday, August 24th marks the 688th day since 240 hostages were kidnapped from Israel and taken to Gaza. 50 of them still remain captive there, 20 who should be home with their mothers and families, and 30 who deserve a proper burial. Please – join us this Sunday to walk for all those still held hostage, and to honor those murdered and injured in Boulder on June 1. 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 since Thanksgiving, 2023. That’s 92 weeks. There are 231+ groups like ours meeting internationally and across US cities (including a local Denver chapter).

Wherever you are, whether visiting friends or family or vacationing, you can join a group and walk with them, or walk on your own and post a video in the main Run For Their Lives Facebook group, in our local FB group, or on your own feeds. The initiative’s goal is to get as much press coverage as possible for the hostages through publicizing these walks.
