“Run For Their Lives Walk” in Boulder Colorado

Boulder, Colorado – June 1, 2025

StandWithUs condemns the heinous June 1, 2025 attack in Boulder, Colorado, of peaceful members of the Jewish and non-Jewish community who were walking—as they've done every week since the brutal Hamas attack on October 7, 2023—to raise awareness about the 58 remaining hostages held in horrendous conditions by Hamas in Gaza. Jews are under assault throughout the world, and we thank our elected officials and community leaders who condemned this, and other attacks, by misguided people who blame Israel for defending itself against the crimes committed by the terrorist organization Hamas. Our hearts go out to the victims, including the dog, and we pray for their speedy recovery. We commend the dedication and commitment of volunteers in the 230 worldwide chapters of Run For Their Lives, who hold these peaceful walks and vowed to continue doing so despite the tragedy.
