Children will engage in age-appropriate religious exploration topics
Adults will hear a presentation by Nemer Afaneh and Martin Todd Allen on their experiences in the Global March to Gaza, also referred to as the Gaza Solidarity Convoy. The march was planned as a civilian-led, international initiative to walk from Arish, Egypt, to the Rafah border crossing with the Gaza Strip in Palestine. The organizers intended to begin on June 15, 2025. The 3000+ Participants planned to establish a protest camp on the Egyptian side of the border, with the goals of peacefully breaking the Israeli blockade of Gaza, providing humanitarian aid to the Gaza Strip, stopping the genocide in Gaza, establishing a humanitarian corridor, and exposing Israeli war crimes. Allen and Afaneh will discuss their participation in the disrupted march.
Nemer Afaneh, of Palestinian descent and reared in Dubai, UAE, is currently the owner of Minutes, a mobile service shop in Jackson.
Martin Todd Allen is a native of Jackson, Mississippi. He is an educator, activist and learned theologian. Allen is currently a Chaplain at the University of Mississippi Medical Center.
