Apache Stronghold
The Apache Stronghold invites you and your family to the 9th Annual Oak Flat March and Run, February 16 – 19, 2023. More details will be shared about this 45-mile march in the coming weeks. If you have questions about attending and participating, you can contact Vanessa Nosie (vnosie11@gmail.com) or respond to this email. Please share the Save the Date with your communities. All are welcome.
This year’s march comes in anticipation of the Apache Stronghold’s next caravan to the Ninth Circuit Court in California this March. A lawsuit to defend the right for prayer at Chi’chil Bildagoteel continues to move through the United States’ legal system. Most recently, one of the judges from the Ninth Circuit requested a full review of the case with the argument that its merits had not been given due diligence on first review. A press release sharing the powerful coalition of faith-led groups that has joined the Apache Stronghold in support is below.
We hope to see you at Oak Flat in February!
