From September 7th, 2023 to November 5th, 2023, she journeyed 6,000 miles across the United States in one of the largest free public festivals ever created.<\/p>\n

Amal walks for the hundreds of thousands of refugees and displaced people of all ages roaming the world in search of safety, half of whom are children. When she walks, Amal brings people together. She gives voice to marginalized people (although she does not speak), and she is welcomed by ordinary people and people of power.<\/p>\n
