Cranes and doves in memory

Once agai , at about 8.15 on the Saturday night of small park BIG RUN, we will be remembering all those who have died in the genocide in Gaza. We will walk a single circuit of the park with a lit flame that will be passed between Palestinian generations. And we will, as last year, march to a single drum beat.

At the end of a circuit we will gather by the solidarity tree and lay down our candles and hang our cranes and doves. Please feel free to write messages of hope and solidarity and love.

(This will be an emotional part of our 24 hours and you may be deep in thought and feeling BUT please do take care when crossing the corse that there are no runners approaching)

Reflection on travels in the West Bank

In 2007 one of the small park BIG RUN organisers went to the West Bank. Through the lens of the devastation of Gaza today and the increasingly oppressive occupation in the West Bank, Kath looks back at her travels in the context of the genocide in Gaza that has been going on since October 2023.
