Sr. Ann Ghazys Published Article on Gaza Solidarity
Sr. Ann Ghazy recently had her article published in the_Record-Courier's_Voices of Faith column**.**In her piece, she shares her experience joining the international march to Gaza in June 2025, a grassroots movement that brought together over 4,000 people from across the globe to demand humanitarian access and justice for Palestinians.
Sr. Ghazy reflects on the risks, repression, and resilience that marked the journey, and how her faith as a Muslim called her to stand against oppression. She ends with a reminder that the struggle for a free Palestine is deeply connected to global movements for justice, including freedom for Sudan, Kashmir, Congo, the Rohingya people, and oppressed peoples everywhere. As she writes:Everything starts with Gaza.
