I’m not in the Bay Area! How can I participate?

You can Ride from Anywhere! Click here for more details.

You can still be a part of the movement by organizing your own Ride – or any activity. Choose your own adventure!

Ride for Palestine encourages you to participate however you are able, and welcomes the support of friends from all over in raising funds for families in Palestine, in the fight against occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing working to uproot Palestinians.

To participate, purchase a Ride from Anywhere ticket under Solo, Join an Existing Team or Create a New Team on the Register page.

I can't ride. Can I still attend the post-Ride event?

Yes! If you’d like to come and support someone participating in this year’s Ride or join our community event, you can purchase a Gather for Palestine-only ticket here. One ticket per person – lunch is included.
