Run for their lives!
Support United States Political Prisoners and
Prisoners-of-War at the 4th annual RUNNING DOWN THE
WALLS!
\tOn 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!
