Run for their lives!

Support United States Political Prisoners and

Prisoners-of-War at the 4th annual RUNNING DOWN THE

WALLS!

On Saturday, October 19, 2002, 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-competative

run/jog/walk through the hills of Griffith Park.

Registered participants will recieve food and

entertainment and there will be water available at

rest stops along the route. Registration entry fees

are: $12 for pre-registration; $9 for senior citizens

and children; $15 for late registration at the run

site. Supporters who wish not to run, jog, or walk

may make a donation. The event will begin at 9 a.m.

Further games and entertainment will continue after

the run and will last until 4:00 p.m.


Proceeds from this 5K run will benefit the ABCF

Warchest. Founded in 1994, the program has provided

consistant and reliable financial aid to Political

Prisoners held within the US prison system. Since its

creation, it has raised over $35,000 to these

prisoners and will continue in these efforts. A

portion of the proceeds will also go to the autonomous

settlement of Maclovio Rojas. Presently, the Mexican

government and US-owned businesses are attempting to

evict the 2000 families that reside in the settlement

in order to make room for additional maquiladores

along the US border. It is imperative that

conscientious people in the United States speak up

against these crimes for capitalism. It is important

that we all join in the efforts to supply aid to all

the communities in Mexico who are resisting similar

threats of eviction.


In the previous years, we have had solidarity runs in

Winnipeg, Canada and Leavenworth Federal Prison.

Solidarity runs for this year are soon to be

announced.


There are over 150 Political Prisoners and

Prisoners-of-War in the United States today. These

prisoners have been unfairly incarcerated while

fighting for social justice and self-determination.

Many of our freedoms are due to these individuals who

sacrificed their lives and freedoms for the benefit of

others. Show them you care for and support their

efforts by RUNNING DOWN THE WALLS!
