Runners for Justice in Palestine - Dedicating our run and walk tomorrow to Palestinian journalists who report with courage, integrity and dignity.
Last Sunday, August 10th, Al-Jazeera crew members were deliberately killed, including Anas Al Sharif, Ibrahim Zaher, Moamen Aliwa, Mohammed Al-Khalidi, Mohammed Noufal, and Mohammed Qreiqeh.
Since October 7th, over 200 media workers have been killed in Gaza, alongside colleagues from West Bank and South Lebanon. Since 1948, there have been attempts to silence truth by targeting journalists. We resist by affirming: You cannot silence the truth or kill the story.
Tomorrow’s movement honors martyred journalists and calls for international condemnation and protection for Palestinian journalists.
