Please help me raise funds to participate in the delegation aboard The Audacity of Hope, US Boat to Gaza freedom flotilla II. I am officially on the passenger list and I leave home on or around June 16. Your financial help will cover the costs of reaching the port of departure and will help me return home to Olympia. Your help will also provide much needed income for my family while I am gone for 3-to 4-weeks.

You can send donations through PAYPAL.

We are a coalition of organizations and a grassroots campaign of individuals who together are joining to launch a U.S. BOAT TO GAZA. When the U.S. boat, THE AUDACITY OF HOPE, sails it will take its place in the next Freedom Flotilla to participate in the great international effort to break the blockade of Gaza and to end the occupation of Palestine. From the deck of The Audacity of Hope, we will be in a powerful and unique position to challenge U.S. foreign policy and affirm the universal obligation to uphold international law and human rights.

We agree to adhere to the principles of nonviolence and nonviolent resistance in word and deed at all times.
