Running Down the Walls 2022!

The Anarchist Black Cross Federation announces Running Down the Walls events across the so-called US for 2022.

Since 1999, prisoners and supporters throughout North America have participated in the annual event known as Running Down the Walls (RDTW) often running or walking simultaneously in many cities and prisons at once. This is a non-competitive 5K run/jog/walk/roll in order to raise awareness and funds for political prisoners.

Over the years, we have raised thousands of dollars and lots of awareness around the struggle to free political prisoners. Many places will be hosting RDTW 2022 between September 11th or 18th – stay tuned to our blog for more details from all of the locations participating this year!

Find out more about Running Down the Walls and the ABCF Warchest (which the runs support).
