Rachel Corrie

Rachel Corrie was a 23-year-old American peace activist from Olympia, Washington and a senior at The Evergreen State College, who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer on 16 March 2003, while undertaking nonviolent direct action to protect the home of a Palestinian family from demolition.

Since her killing, an enormous amount of solidarity activities have been carried out to continue her work and honor her legacy in Olympia, especially at her alma mater, Evergreen.
