Walk Sunday to Let Them Go Now

As we move into this New Year 2025 — the second New Year not celebrated by the hostages still held in Gaza — it grows harder and harder to find new words that might inspire people to want to join us on these walks of solidarity around such a devastating  humanitarian issue. The desire of all of us who are part of the Run for Their Lives issues — 220+ global groups — is solely to bring awareness to the plight of the hostages.

To honor that goal, for as long as it is necessary, I will from here on out just send you all the weekly flyer promoting our walk, and hope that you will share it widely on social media and via your listserves. It would mean a great deal to us.

For those of you wanting to follow our initiative, and/or see some of the posts and info being shared, please join our FB group, follow us on social media, or join our WhatsApp group for relevant updates.

Wishing you all peace, health, and freedom in 2025.

There are 231 active Run For Their Lives groups across the world. 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.

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, January 5th at 1 pm
Meet-up: Corner of Pearl & 8th Street
