Gaza Sunbirds fly Palestinian flag at Para Cycling Worlds despite fear of news from home Palestine team members were checking anxiously for news from home even while they were competing at the Para Cycling Road World Championships.

🚴‍♂️ The Gaza Sunbirds — a para-cycling team of amputee athletes — raced at the World Championships.

They brought more than bikes.
They brought resolve.

A beautiful act of resilience in the face of overwhelming odds.

We can all make it.
But only together.

#GazaSunbirds #Together #StrengthNotPower

That strength is ours.
That Word is still ours.
If we dare speak it —
together.

For Jose Cruz, who remembers.
