Why Palestine?
The Palestinian people have been struggling against Israeli ethnic cleansing, home demolitions, unjust arrests, extrajudicial killings, apartheid, and exile from their land for over 78 years. The children of Palestine have grown up with their family and friends killed before their eyes, with their homes destroyed in front of them, with the fear of bombs dropping overhead, locked in prison without trial or charge, and unable to move, play, and live like a child should. Yet, they continue to struggle for their rights.
The Palestinian struggle is not a struggle for Palestinians only. It is a struggle for all oppressed people, for all lovers and defenders of freedom and justice, for all people with conscience.
This is why we Ride So that Palestinian families can remain steadfast in their land against the occupation, apartheid, and ethnic cleansing working to uproot them. So Palestinian children can heal, learn, play, and dream as every child should.
