ABOUT THE MIDDLE EAST CHILDREN’S ALLIANCE
MECA works to protect the lives, rights, and well-being of children in Palestine and refugee camps in Lebanon. After over 78 years of ethnic cleansing, displacement, and attacks on their lives and livelihoods, Palestinians remain steadfast on their land and fiercely committed to the cause of freedom and liberation. This Big Ride for Palestine is an act of solidarity with Palestinian communities as they struggle to protect their children’s lives and their culture from erasure. As Israel’s bombardment of Gaza and Lebanon and its blockade of Gaza continue, humanitarian aid is needed more urgently than ever. All funds raised by the Ride will go to MECA’s relief work in Palestine and Lebanon. Learn more about MECA.
