On Saturday, September 12th, 2009 at 10 a.m., the Los Angeles Anarchist Black Cross will host a 5k run / walk / bike at Whittier Narrows Regional Park in El Monte, CA. This event is designed to raise much-needed funds for the ABCF Warchest and the Romaine Fitzgerald Homecoming Fund.

RAISING FUNDS

Funds will be divided between the following:

? The Warchest Program was created in November of 1994. Through the program, The ABCF sends monthly financial support to Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War (PP/POWs) who have received insufficient, little, or no financial support during their imprisonment. Funds from the Warchest are distributed through monthly stipends to the political prisoners in need. Prisoners use this money to cover the basic necessities of everyday living. Since its inception, the ABCF has raised over ,000 through the Warchest program. For more information, please check out: www.abcf.net

? Romaine Fitzgerald Homecoming Fund Currently, there is a parole campaign for political prisoner Romaine ?Chip? Fitzgerald. This fund will assist Chip his legal appeal effort and in re-establishing a life outside of prison. Chip has served forty years in prison and is the longest held political prisoner in the United States. For more information, please check out: www.freechip.org

SUPPORT THE STRUGGLE

Remember that many of those arrested in the past or present are not far from us. Many of them were and are community and labor activists, queer and environmental activists- people who decided to speak out against various forms of oppression and paid the price of freedom for their actions. Anyone of these people could have at one time stood beside us in a demonstration, at a speak-out or even a organizing meeting. At any moment it could be us who finds ourselves in this situation, so it is imperative that we ensure that a strong community of support exists for these people as well as ourselves. The strength of our movement is determined by how much we support our fallen comrades.

GET INVOLVED

People can participate in the following ways:

? Be a runner/cyclist: 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 local groups who need help.

? Sponsor a runner/cyclist: This can be done through a flat donation to the runner/cyclist of your choice.

? Sponsor Running Down the Walls: Any amount helps. Contact the Los Angeles Anarchist Black Cross if you wish to simply donate money. Organizations who donate more than will be added to list of sponsor organizations on the website and all fliers/posters.

? Donate to the Warchest: For the Warchest send funds to the Philadelphia ABC, indicating your desire for those funds to go to the Warchest. Please make checks and money orders to Tim Fasnacht. (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. We currently have runs planned for: Los Angeles, CA; Arcata, CA; Tucson, AZ; Phoenix, AZ; New York, NY; Marion CMU; Ashland, Oregon; and west Massachusetts.
