About The Big Ride for Palestine

The Big Ridefor Palestinehas held a ride every summer since 2015 focusing on flying the flag in solidarity with Palestine and raising funds for Middle East Children’s Alliance (MECA) for children’s projects and more recently, for Palestine Riders and for the Gaza Sunbirds paracycling team.

This year has been very different from previous years with the horrifying genocide in Gaza and the unending harassment of Palestinians in the West Bank. Sadly, we have also witnessed the brutal destruction of playgrounds like the one TheBig Ridefunded in Beit Lahia, northern Gaza.

In response to thewar crimesbytheIsraeli forces there has been a series of massive demonstrations throughout the world including huge fortnightly marches in the UK, which Big Ridefor Palestinesupporters have responded to along with hundreds of thousands of others. We have also seen many protests in towns and cities large and small throughout the UK. When we are not marching, we have organised Rides for Palestine in local towns and cities (10 and counting), often connecting with local protestsin collaboration with the Gaza Sunbirds and the Global Solidarity Rides in 50+ cities around the world.
