For the last 16 years at Amos Trust, May has meant getting on our bikes and hitting the road. This year, it will be ‘saddle sores and smiles’ as Chris Rose and Meg Williams from the Amos team will be riding Coast-to-Coast to raise funds for Gaza.

“The failure of our leaders to back words with meaningful action is glaring. As the 1.4 million people in Rafah face attacks that our leaders know would be catastrophic, they must finally act to stop the slaughter.” Read the statement from thirty one UK NGO’s regarding Israel’s invasion of Rafa.

This month, we would like to celebrate all of you, our supporters, who, over the last 6 months, have been amazing at coming together to speak out, march and raise funds for our emergency appeal for Gaza and the West Bank.

“We took to the streets with signs in hand and cries of protest. We stood together, supporting each other. I saw many women expressing pain and anger in various ways — each one had a unique story of experiencing violence.” Alexia Lizarraga Quintero, Amos’ new Partnerships and Climate Fellowship Manager, writes about her experience of International Women’s Day in Mexico.

“We are amazed by the support we are still receiving and people’s incredible generosity. We are committed to sending more funds to Gaza and the West Bank in the coming weeks.” Chris Rose writes about Amos’ emergency appeal for Gaza.
