Run for their lives!

Support United States Political Prisoners and Prisoners-of-War at the 7th RUNNING DOWN THE WALLS!

On Saturday, August 23, 2008 join in the community effort to support and raise awareness of those who have been targeted and punished for their political actions and beliefs.

RUNNING DOWN THE WALLS is a 5k non-competitive run/walk/bike in the beautiful Whittier Narrows Regional Park. Registered participants will receive food and entertainment and there will be water available at rest stops along the route. Registration entry fees are: $12 for pre-registration, $15 for registration at the run site. Supporters who wish not to run, walk or bike may make a donation. Registration will begin at 9:30 a.m. Further games, entertainment, and speakers will continue after the run and will last until 2:00 p.m.

Proceeds from this 5K run will benefit the ABCF Warchest. Founded in 1994, the program has provided consistent and reliable financial aid to Political Prisoners held within the US prison system. Since its creation, it has raised over $50,000 for these prisoners and will continue in these efforts. A portion of the proceeds will also go to El Centro Cultural de Mexico, a community center in Santa Ana dedicated to developing a cultural and educational bridge that brings together a variety of cultural projects from Mexico, Central and South America. Proceeds will also go to the Committee to Free Chip Fitzgerald, a support group dedicated to the release of Romaine 'Chip' Fitzgerald. Chip is the longest held Black Panther political prisoner in the United States.

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.

This is what Amnesty International said in this years report-and they ain't even rad

Prisons

In England and Wales alone, the prison population soared to nearly 80,000, among the highest per capita worldwide. Police cells were used as a result of the overcrowding crisis. Among other things, overcrowding continued to be linked to self-harm and self-inflicted deaths, greater risks to the safety of staff and inmates, and detention conditions amounting to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment.

• In June the report of the public inquiry into the killing of Zahid Mubarek by his cellmate, a known racist, at Feltham Young Offenders Institution in March 2000 was published. Among other things, it found that 186 failings, either institutional or by 19 named individuals, had led to his death, which could have been prevented had appropriate action been taken.
