In this exclusive field report, we take you inside the grassroots mobilization that brought hundreds of activists to Dallas City Hall on October 4th, 2025, for the historic “Save Gaza Mega March.” This wasn’t just another protest—it was a masterclass in coalition building that united diverse organizations across North Texas in solidarity with Gaza on the second anniversary of the current conflict.
Our cameras captured the March, which was the result of collaboration between the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) Dallas-Fort Worth, the Muslim American Society of Dallas, CODEPINK Dallas, Voice of Palestine, and dozens of other community groups. What emerged was a powerful demonstration of how grassroots organizations can amplify their impact through strategic partnership and shared purpose.
From the creative activism of a landlocked “flotilla” boat sailing on Dallas sidewalks to congressional candidates addressing the crowd, this report reveals the intricate planning, diverse voices, and unified messaging that made this one of the most creative pro-Palestine demonstrations in North Texas.
As part of a coordinated global day of action spanning 40 cities worldwide, the Dallas march exemplified how local coalitions can connect their communities to international movements for justice. Today, we examine the organizing strategies, key players, and lasting impact of this remarkable coalition effort.
