Running Down The Walls is here again!
The Los Angeles Anarchist Black Cross Federation is
proud to announce the return of Running Down the Walls
(RDTW).  RDTW is a 5k run/walk for Political
Prisoners.

Due to increased demand by PP/POWs and community
activists, LA-ABCF will be organizing the next RDTW on
Saturday, September 8th, 2007.  We hope our friends
will come out and support the run just as they have in
past.  Our goal is to increase the number of
solidarity runs in prisons and other cities, as well
as, raise much needed funds and awareness for our
comrades held captive as political prisoners.

As of right now we have solidarity runs in USP Big
Sandy, MCI Walpole, Boston and Western Massachusetts.

Proceeds from this run will be divided between the
ABCF Warchest and the Black Riders Liberation Party’s
Defense Fund.

For those interested in supporting the run. Here is
how you can help:

-Be a runner:
We are asking people or groups who are running to
collect as many sponsors for the run as possible.
Remember the money received is going to help
imprisoned comrades and assist the Black Riders in the
legal defense from recent police repression.

-Donate to the Warchest:
Send funds to the Philadelphia ABCF, who heads up the
Warchest, indicating your desire for those funds to go
to the Warchest. (Philadelphia ABCF P.O. Box 42129
Philadelphia, PA 19101)

-Organize a Running Down the Walls in your location:
We wish to expand the solidarity runs in more cities
and prisons. Please contact LA Anarchist Black Cross,
if you plan on doing this. Also, the LA ABCF welcomes
anyone interested in helping us to organize the LA
run.

“Not only our pace and spirits soared, but the sun
broke through the clouds and the temperature rose to
the 60s.  So we ran down the walls and ran up the sun
and we were glad to be doing it.” – Jaan Laaman at
1999 RDTW
