2026 Interfaith Pilgrimage for Palestine Sponsorship

On May 9, 2026, join Interfaith4Palestine for a pilgrimage of prayer and public witness through the streets of Oakland.

If you are registering today as an organization, we invite you to sponsor the 2026 Interfaith Pilgrimage for Palestine.  Sponsorships enable us to cover the event costs, allowing the remaining donations to be redistributed to local arms embargo efforts and humanitarian aid in Gaza. Sponsorship donations cover costs such as:

• Beautiful banners and stoles handmade by local artists

• Security and medical materials

• Snacks and water

• Honorariums to support inspiring speakers and musicians 

We encourage you to cover processing fees if possible. If you would like to avoid processing fees, you can send a check made out to IM4HI to 310 8th St. Suite 310 Oakland, CA 94607 with "I4P pilgrimage sponsor" in the memo.

As the drumbeat of war grows louder and the cost in human life continues to rise, people of faith and conscience are gathering — across traditions, across communities — to proclaim a different vision: 🌿 Divest from war. Invest in life.

Together, we will walk 12 miles through Oakland, in solidarity with the Oakland People's Arms Embargo, calling for an end to military cargo shipments from the Port of Oakland to Israel. We carry our prayers, our grief, and our unshakeable hope that a different world is possible.

This pilgrimage is rooted in a shared sacred conviction: every human life holds immeasurable dignity, and peace with justice cannot be built through militarism.

This is the third year of our collective journey. It grows from the global Gaza Ceasefire Pilgrimages of 2024 and our local Right of Return Pilgrimage in 2025. Each year, our call has grown clearer and more urgent: we need an immediate arms embargo — locally and nationally.

Whether you are a longtime activist or walking in witness for the first time, whether you come from a faith community or simply from a place of deep moral conviction — you are welcome here. Come as you are. Bring your community. Bring your prayers.

📅 Date: May 9, 2026 📍 Location: Oakland, CA 🚶 Distance: 12 miles

Come walk. Come pray. Come witness to the possibility of a world where life, dignity, and justice prevail.
