Remembering The Brave: Rachel Corrie

Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American peace activist, was killed by an Israeli military bulldozer while standing as a human shield to protect a Palestinian family’s home from demolition.

In 2003, Rachel left the comfort of her home in Olympia, Washington, to stand in the dust of Rafah. She didn’t just talk about justice; she lived it, ultimately sacrificing her life to protect civilians she had never met.
