Sisterhood Peace Walk

Sisterhood Peace Walk: A Call to Unity & Friendship
The story of the Sisterhood is the story of women standing together in solidarity. Muslim and Jewish women have united through the Sisterhood and found friendship, support, and strength in times of need. We joined together to protest the Muslim Ban in 2017, to show support after a rash of anti-Semitic acts in 2019, and to offer solidarity following the shootings at the Tree of Life synagogue in 2018 and the Christchurch mosque shootings in 2019. Each time, it was the sisters who were not targeted who turned to the other to say, "Let us carry your burden."
To us, the message is clear- in times of struggle, we turn to each other. To the public, the impact is clear- our actions make a difference. People pay attention when we act together.
Today, it feels as though the threats are many and the onslaught relentless. As members of the Sisterhood, you are not alone, nor are you helpless. You are among the radical peacemakers who bravely come together to stand as one. This work takes courage. We have done it before, and we can do it again.
We cannot solve international conflicts, but we can work towards peace and model to the world that Jewish and Muslim communities are stronger together. Hold tight to your Sisters- our relationships are our strength and the antidote to hate.
Now through the end of August, we invite you to organize a Peace Walk with your fellow Sisters. Invite friends, family, and neighbors to join you and be the face of peace in your local community. Often, the idea of Muslim-Jewish partnership comes as a surprise to others, but your decision to build friendships with your fellow sisters is powerful. You have the power to transform minds. You can be the ripple effect of positive community change.
The Sisterhood exists to provide the foundation from which structures of peace can emerge and thrive. We help you build friendships, engage in dialogue, and provide a framework for peace building. We need your support to sustain the infrastructure and resources that make our work possible. Here's how you can organize your Walk to promote peace and to support the Sisterhood.
Individuals and teams (groups) can sign up to become peace building champions for the Sisterhood. A team can be made up of a chapter, a group of members, or a few women from your local community. Create a Champion fundraising page and share it with family and friends!
Next, plan a walk in your community to get outside, enjoy the warm weather, and spend time with your sisters! Have a favorite park or walking trail? Perfect! Wish to host a picnic at the end of your walk? Great! Want to include children, spouses, or friends? They're welcome too! Wish you had some cool Sisterhood swag to wear during your walk?
