The local Albany group will meet 1x / week for a walk run of at least 1km. We wear unified shirts for the hostages. Collectively it is a group that is peaceful (we will not be protesting) and is united by our love for one another. This organization is inclusive- we encourage individuals of all religions and ethnicities to join if interested. 💙🤍💙 You can find more info here. Link to shirts
