Celebrate Edan, Remember the 58 – Walk This Sunday

Let’s walk together in honor of Edan Alexander and his return home to Israel after 584 days. 

And: let’s continue to say the names of the 58 hostages remaining in Gaza. 

We will continue walking until they’re all home.

Sunday is DAY 590. Please share widely.

Sunday, May 11th marks the 590th day since 240 hostages were kidnapped from Israel and taken to Gaza. 58 of them still remain captive there, 23 who should be home with their mothers and families, and 35 who deserve a proper burial. 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 since Thanksgiving, 2023. That’s 78 weeks. There are multiple groups like ours meeting internationally and across US cities (including a local Denver chapter).

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, May 18th at 1 pm
Meet-up: Corner of Pearl & 8th Street
