We are attempting to reach the goal of ,000 with the run. Funds will be divided between the two programs:

ABCF Warchest:
A program that provides monthly stipends to political prisoners who receive little or no financial aid. In 16 years, the program has raised nearly ,000 for our imprisoned comrades.

Coraz?n Del Pueblo:
Coraz?n del Pueblo is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit collective, and community cultural center, that promotes peace, social justice and cultural understanding through the arts, education and social action.

Official Runs and Solidarity Runs:
The ABCF is a Federation of ABC chapters that span across the country and is holding two official Running Down the Walls runs. Both New York and Los Angeles will be holding official runs on the morning of August 7th. In addition, every year, prisoners and supporters organize solidarity runs. Last year, we had runs in Albuquerque (NM), Arcata (CA), Ashland, (OR), Bellefonte (PA), Boston (MA), Denver, (CO), Elmore (AL), Inez (KY), Los Angeles (CA), Marion (IL), New York NY), USP. Navosta (TX), Pelican Bay(CA), Phoenix (AZ), Tucson (AZ), and Toronto, Ontario. This year we hope to have even more runs in cities, towns, and prisons all across North America.
