Subject: Keep the Freedom Bus on the Road!

Dearest Friends,

As many of you know, in September this year, the Freedom Bus will engage people from around the world in a 9-day solidarity ride through the West Bank of occupied Palestine. Interactive theatre performances will give voice to personal stories about popular struggle, political imprisonment, home demolitions, the Separation Wall and other realities of life under Israeli occupation.

The Freedom Bus is participating in GlobalGiving’s Open Challenge to meet the costs of the ride.  The first step is to raise 4000 USD by April 30th. 

Please help us raise this amount by donating at http://globalgiving.org/projects/freedombus .  Every donation, big or small, counts!

You can also use Facebook, Twitter, blogs, etc. to get others onboard.  

For more details, please see below.

Many thanks,

Ben Rivers
