February is upon us and this year's Freedom Ride is drawing closer! Here at The Freedom Theatre in Jenin we are busy with the preparations and we are very excited to soon be able to share this adventure with you.
During March 19-30 people from across Palestine and the world will join communities in marginalized areas of the occupied West Bank, in a solidarity ride that will include volunteer work, guided walks, interactive workshops and cultural events. Through Playback Theatre, community members will share personal accounts about the realities of life and struggle in some of the most heavily targeted yet most resilient areas under occupation and oppression.
The best part is, YOU can still join this amazing journey!
We aim to have around 35 international participants on this year's Freedom Ride, and strongly encourage those who want to join us to send an email to freedombus@thefreedomtheatre.org as soon as possible to guarantee a seat on the bus.
All details are on the Freedom Bus blog: freedombuspalestine.wordpress.com, where you can also find daily updates from last year's ride.
If you're not able to join us in person, rest assured that we will keep you updated throughout the ride, on the blog and here on GlobalGiving.
Included in this update are images of recent preparation trips to some of the communities we will be staying with during the Freedom Ride. There were many messages of gratitude and welcoming extended to you, our dear supporters and hopefully soon-to-be freedom riders!
