Interfaith Pilgrimage for Palestine: Divest from War, Invest in Life
May 9 @ 8:00 am – 5:00 pm
On May 9, 2026, join the Interfaith Pilgrimage for Palestine, a public witness calling for an end to military cargo shipments from Oakland to Israel. As the drumbeat of war and profiteering grows louder, we deepen our commitment to non-cooperation with harm and support the Oakland People’s Arms Embargo to proclaim: Divest from war. Invest in life.
This Mother’s Day, join us and be a voice for a different future, a future that sees children as our greatest inheritance. Children are sacred. As parents, aunties/uncles, grandparents, educators, healers and people of faith, let us put our values into actions that save lives and end the horror of the US and Israel’s war on children. For the sake of the future, let us create the world we want to see by demanding an end to the shipping of arms from Oakland.

Together, we will journey 12 miles through Oakland and Alameda, walking our prayers and embodying our shared conviction that every human life is sacred, and that peace with justice cannot be built through militarism. Participants are invited to join us for the entire 12 miles, or for one of the 5 legs (1-4 miles long).
This pilgrimage grows out of the global Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimages of 2024 and local collaborations such as the Right of Return Pilgrimage in 2025. In this third year, we renew our collective call for an immediate arms embargo—locally and nationally.
