Rachel Corrie, 23-year-old American peace activist, was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer on Mar. 16, 2003, while undertaking nonviolent direct action to protect the home of a Palestinian family from demolition. Since her killing, solidarity activities have been carried out in her name around the world.

We have to do that for each other, and one way we can do that is by continuing our work, visibly. People without privilege will be doing this work no matter what, because they are working for their lives. We can work with them, and they know that we work with them, or we can leave them to do this work themselves and curse us for our complicity in killing them.
