On 9th August We Are Bridge are taking part in The Big Ride for Palestine. We will be cycling 30 miles across London to raise money for MECA, who provide urgent aid for families impacted by the humanitarian crisis.
Now more than ever, your voice, spirit, money and time is needed. Please do what you can to support Palestine. The time is always now.
Thank you for donating - any amount is received with love. And please share the fundraising page if you can .
Love,
Axa, Jess, Claire, Warda and JP xxx
- Challenge
Half the Palestinian population are children. In Gaza, they are being bombed, blockaded, and occupied. Families are on the brink of starvation. In the West Bank, Israeli attacks have also forced communities to flee their homes. More than 40,000 people are displaced, the most in decades. Israeli settler violence is on the rise and there are increasing numbers of checkpoints dividing the West Bank causing more poverty.
- Solution
MECA works for the rights and well-being of children. We have been working in Palestine for 36 years. With the support of The Big Ride for Palestine, MECA and our local partners will provide food parcels, hot meals, clean drinking water, and other essential aid to families impacted by Israel's attacks across Palestine. And we will provide psychosocial support for traumatized children whenever it is possible including sports and other physical activities.
(P.S. - if you're reading this before 3rd August it's not too late to sign up to take part yourself - please come and join !)
