Running Down the Walls 2013 Reportback

Running Down the Walls this year was a huge success! People all around the world ran in the streets and inside prison walls ran simultaneously in solidarity with political prisoners worldwide. Thousands of dollars were raised to fund basic solidarity programs, the ABCF Warchest, and legal defense campaigns.

Runs occurred in Ontario, Denver, USP Tuscon, New York, Los Angeles, and more. Denver ABC put together an awesome promo video and there are some great pictures available of the LA run which was co-hosted by Revolutionary Autonomous Communities.

Many Political Prisoners made statements including Jaan Laamans who coordinated the run at USP Tuscon.

Jaan Laaman’s Report on Running Down the Walls 2013

Jaan Laaman

Hello everybody –

hope this has been/is being a good running day for all of you.  About 30 of us in here – young and old, Black, white and Latino, did a real nice RDTW this morning.  We got together before taking off, had some words about the meaning of Running Down the Walls and it’s origin and ongoing reality.

Then we took off and got a real decent 5k – some walked some laps, but most ran all the miles.  Afterwards we all drank a cold soda and talked about people running in other cities and towns, in other kamps too, some at that very moment.

So it was a positive morning and a good run and we hope and expect that all of you and many many others, even in Switzerland ! ha- had a good run today too.  Now lets hope Obama does NOT launch a new war in the mid=east, in Syria and of course, I know we will all do what we can.

Freedom Is A Constant Struggle!
