“Regardless of varying political perspectives concerning the embargo, no one in the 21st century should have to live like the people of Gaza. MAS Freedom is determined to do its part to end this atrocity and inhumane form of barbarism,” Bray added.
Galloway stated, “The responsive support we’ve received from Muslim community leaders, MAS Orlando, MAS-Youth Dallas, American Muslims for Palestine (AMP) and the American Muslim community, has been phenomenal and greatly appreciated. I am certain that the spirits of the people of Gaza will be lifted by knowing that there is such concern, compassion, and activism on their behalf by their brothers and sisters in America.”
