🇵🇸Climb the Wall🇵🇸
From April 12th-May 5th Climbers for Palestine are climbing in solidarity with Palestine as part of a global climb-a-thon at local gyms or crags, with the goal of collectively reaching 768 km in vertical height, the current estimated length of both Apartheid Walls separating Gaza and the West Bank from Israel.

“The struggle for liberation in Palestine is intersectional; it is transformative and effective and needs the full support of the global queer community.”
- Ghadir al Shafie, the co-founder of Aswat - Palestinian Feminist Center for Sexual and Gender Freedom

“Finding friendships in adulthood can be tough! Especially while our lives are often so full with work or school, relationships, or just trying to get by in a complex world. Not to mention living in a culture that prioritizes individualism over fostering connections. In big cities such as Los Angeles, walkable communities are rare. (You’re so lucky if you’re within walking distance of your local climbing gym!) For some, it may feel like navigating a difficult route or boulder problem...”
