NYC Anarchist Black Cross (ABC) are hosting a 5k run/walk/bike/roll Sunday, July 31, from 2pm to 7pm, at Prospect Park Brooklyn NY, as part of this annual international event. Running Down the Walls (RDW) is designed to raise much needed funds for the Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF) Warchest and provide legal resources Safe OUTside the System (SOS).
The Warchest was created in 1994. Thru the program, the ABCF sends monthly financial support to PP/POWs who have received insufficient, little or no financial support during their imprisonment.
SOS Collective is an anti-violence program led by Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Two Spirit, Trans and Gender Non-Conforming people of color who are devoted to challenge hate and police violence by using community based strategies rather tha relying on the police.
