Steve Swanson, is a Christian man whose unwavering support for the Jewish community has been evident from the very beginning of his involvement with Runners for the Truth and Light (R4TL). From the outset, Steve has shown up, both physically and emotionally. He attends the Sunday marches without fail, week after week, always arriving early with the banner, flags, and posters of the hostages. His presence is constant, reliable, and deeply appreciated. More than his actions, it is Steve’s spirit that stands out. He is a kind and gentle soul who approaches everyone with warmth and optimism. His quiet strength, compassion, and steadfast support exemplify the values that the White Rose Society seeks to honor. Thank you Steve, for your moral clarity, your steadfast support of the Jewish people and Israel, and for standing on the right side of history.
