There is a depiction of an abolitionist black fist and cross logo.There is also a depiction of an overgrown dismal prison yard with fence. This a Non Competitive (walk - roll - run) 5K event to raise funds for the ABCF warchest for Political Prisoners. We are meeting on September 21st at 11 am in Lowell MA, Boarding House Park - at 40 French St.
As a former political prisoner and recipient of mutual aid I send you greetings from unceded Wabanaki land (aka "Maine.") When Running Down The Walls first kicked off in September, 1999 I was fifteen years into 20 years of imprisonment and stuck in a segregation cell. I was isolated and lonely but I never felt alone because every day in those cages I felt the very real support of folks like you gathered here today. Solidarity is our greatest weapon. Solidarity in resistance. Solidarity in the struggle for liberation. Solidarity moving forward. Mutual aid is an essential part of this solidarity. Mutual aid is about survival pending liberation. And not just about survival, but surviving with our humanity intact. Each step you take today for OUR imprisoned brothers and sisters is a step in movement building that values life and freedom. I have much appreciation for your commitment. I will join you September 21 from further north, doing 5K along the banks of the Passagassawakeag River. (aka "the Passy.)
