About this episode

As the US government resists calls for a ceasefire, a coalition of faith leaders, artists and activists in the US are on a 240-kilometer journey to Washington DC, in what they’re calling a “Pilgrimage for Peace.” Their goal is to convince the Biden administration to halt all weapons funding to Israel and push for a permanent ceasefire in Palestine.
