Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage | Tulsa, OK

With our resources we will prayerfully impact Gaza from our own cities.

As an additional demonstration of solidarity, and in accordance to the Christ-love call of Mark 25:40, we are providing participants the opportunity to support Gazans with financial gifts to meet their real-time and future needs.

In alignment with the Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimage's fundraising targets of Relief, Refugees, and Arrival of Relief and Refuge, we have prayerfully selected two organizations for which to fundraise:

• Churches for Middle East Peace (CMEP) is a respected coalition of churches and organizations that has long been working to promote United States government policies for just resolutions to conflicts in the Middle East. CMEP utilizes donations to (1) provide humanitarian relief in the form of food, water, medical supplies, and shelter; (2) support Palestinian refugees in the United States and Canada; and (3) support educational and advocacy efforts within communities and governments.

• Give Gaza Hope is a Tulsa, OK-based grassroots mutual aid organization. Its 50 members collaborate and connect with local activists through yoga, poetry readings, concerts, teach-ins, and mass action events to provide direct relief to Gazans seeking evacuation or in need of food, water, and shelter.

All donations will go to the selected organizations, and are tax deductible. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact us at: info@tulsagcp.com

With our bodies we will prayerfully map Gaza onto our own cities.

“The power of the pilgrimage is to allow the geography of the horror happening in Gaza to become real in our home cities. To flee Gaza city to hope to find refuge in Rafah in the south, that’s only the distance of Hillary’s Boat Harbour to Freemantle in my home town. You’d still hear the blast of bombs destroying your home. You could see the clouds of dust and debris.

“On pilgrimage, in solidarity, we can start to transfigure our vicarious trauma into action as we realise in our bodies that 2 million displaced people can’t find shelter from bombardment no matter where they are in that small area.”
