Before my sentencing, I spoke the truth clearly and refused to be interrupted in court. I am not afraid. Even as violence rises all around me both inside and outside these walls. I am not afraid because the struggle remains the same. The great disasters and failures we face remain the same. Our duty, as Assata told us, remains the same. I know I am just one in a sea of us.”White text over Black back ground

We will win it together. Thank you, each and every one of you. I am so grateful for the work and support of the ABCF and events like RDTW. Thank you for supporting us, supporting this, supporting yourself. I will see you when we are all free!"

“Brothers and sisters in the struggle, this is Oso Blanco. I ask you to come out today to put your all into this 5k again this year. There is something that many of you need to know, if you don't know already. Political prisoners throughout the system truly need your help in completing this 5k today because what you're going to do is raise money that allows us to survive in these hell holes.”White text over Black back ground
Bottom half of page:

“It has become increasingly difficult to live in here -- just to buy soap, toothpaste, and basic essentials has become prohibitively expensive and makes it difficult to survive in state and federal prisons and jails. Needless to say this is because this is a money making scheme; it's all about profit, not justice in this industrial prison complex. 

I ask you to put forth your best effort today. You may feel tired, like giving up, but remember that we need you and we need your help in getting us out of these horrible places.

I love you all. Oso Blanco”

Two tomorrows from the edge or another autumn here in the global north, we again lace up our moving gear.

But we will unite across time and space and identity to make common progress for all the tomorrows that will come as we together run down the walls.
We will confront the apparatus of repression's houses of steel and concrete and pain behind whose walls greed imprisons and tortures our friends, comrades, neighbors, relatives for the crimes of being here, wanting enough food, medicine, housing, security, education, seeking living wages for meaningful work. 

We will contest a predatory aristocracy's imprisonment of our class brethren, sistren, nonconren within artificial national borders where that elite can more readily redistribute wealth upward and commit genocide against resisters' communities.”

We will wage this struggle today, here, now, with our footfalls in person and in spirit from diverse locales. We will let our footfalls in the dust blend together in solidarity with those of our predecessors in running down the walls and with those of new comrades in our writing of history this way. We will broadcast our rage with our footfalls through the earth, concrete, stone in tremors greed will feel as "tomorrow is coming".
I may not be able to see you, but I will feel you and be with you and be empowered by your presence as I join you in whatever version of running down the walls the agency of repression makes available to me two tomorrows before Fall.

SFL ABC is sharing this statement written by Black anarchists to defend political prisoner Mumia abu Jamal against the recent attacks & show that Black anarchic radicals stand in solidarity w/ Iranian political protesters. Share widely & dont let authoritarians, leftist or not, spread misinfo (3/3)
Iran must free all of its political prisoners if it truly wants to stand in solidarity with not just Black people but in solidarity with the liberation of Palestine as well. True solidarity isn’t forged through wanton violence and the ability to drop bombs against the colonizer but rather is forged through understood struggle and mediation of harm. As abolitionists we shouldn’t support cops and prison just because they serve a perceived geo political interest.

There is real conversation that needs to be had about the mass sexual violence , abuse , and torture that occurs within Iranian prisons. The Iranian state isn’t representative of the best interest of the Iranian people; it is rather an oppressive apparatus towards Iranian people, especially towards Iranian women. Following the  murder of 22 year old Masha “Jini” Amini that was committed by the Iranian Morality Police for the allegation that she didn’t wear her hijab properly which caused the police to beat her severely, this beating caused severe head injuries , in response the “Women, Life , & Freedom Movement “ was created . Nationwide protests sprung up in response to this incident.

Top & bottom of page:
Pomelo colored barbed wireThese protests were mainly led by Iranian school aged girls , Iranian Women , and people. This can be seen as a form of resistance against the internal contradictions of patriarchy that exist within Iran that I will add are not caused by “The West “, “Zionism”, or “America “ just because a country is the victim of western imperialism doesn’t mean that said country is infallible or unable to be held accountable for causing harm. The Iranian state responded to these protests against statist patriarchy by killing hundreds and arresting thousands more. It is dehumanizing to hold Iranian people to a dichotomy of A&B this ends up reducing and minimizing the real

traumas that are caused by the Iranian state for the sake of “anti imperialism”. In where one can easily deduce that the prison upholds imperialism, that is because the use of carceral systems recreate political , social, cultural , and gendered hegemony within given geo political areas you will never be able to mount a genuine front against Zionism because you are mirroring its logic. Resistance against Zionism isn’t myopic rather it is multifaceted and many differing perspectives can be taken to resist against Zionism.

Top & bottom of page:
Pomelo colored barbed wireThe Iranian state doesn’t have a monopoly on violence and the Iranian state isn’t the only vessel that can be used for resistance against Western colonialism. What we see with the Iranian state is nationalism that is adverse to the best interest of the Zionist nationalist. Liberation can’t be built or come from nation states rather it must come from those most marginalized and must come from the bottom up not top down. The real reality of Iranian’s resisting statist repression and Zionism at once isn’t foreign to history or modern day.

Share widely & dont let authoritarians, leftist or not, spread misinformation
White text outlined in black-
We reject attacks from the authoritarian left on radical Black elder and Black liberation leader Mumia Abu-Jamal for holding a consistent abolitionist position. These attacks are baseless, inflammatory, and do nothing to stop the U.S empire. Iranian political prisoners deserve solidarity; the same state apparatus that is utilized against American political prisoners built the infrastructure necessary for the imperialist machine in America to oppress other people abroad.

Top & bottom of page:
Pomelo colored barbed wireMass incarceration was built on Black death and anti-Black structures. Statist carcereal structures and logic can’t be utilized to liberate anyone fighting against imperialism because they repurpose statist logic, anti-Blackness, and, by extension, imperialism. It is not a requirement to excuse repression from other states under U.S. imperialism to fight U.S imperialism. This ruptures solidarity and jettisons Iranian anarchists, feminist activists, political prisoners, dissidents, and Kurdish minorities from solidarity.

Top & bottom of page:
Pomelo colored barbed wireIn order to fight back against U.S imperialism, we must fight and put pressure on the empire at home, rather than rupture solidarity between different subordinate groups in order to bolster a vulgar campist position. International solidarity and support, or as the Zapatistas say, “the fight from below” rather than “the fight from above,” is the connection that will liberate us all from the state, imperialism, carcereality, and anti-Blackness.

Pomelo colored barbed wireThe negro-philiac and infantilization of Black radical elders has to cease, and it needs to be recognized that not all Black radicals will come to positions that you will always agree with; that doesn’t mean that their sacrifices and struggle should be delegitimized for the sake of holding a campist line of reasoning. The prison industrial complex is a global phenomenon that can’t just be reduced to borders and “the West” the prison exists to exploit , degrade , and oppress the most marginalized within a given geopolitical area.

I was demonized, convicted, and sentenced to 30 years in federal prison for reading and possessing my books, zines, love letters, poetry, cute keepsakes, sketchbooks, art, and even custom tattoo designs. It seems like we’re entering a time when books and art are being considered a crime and a threat.As I watch the news, I notice a rampant amount of injustices and atrocities happening in this moment. Nevertheless, I’ve witnessed a display of beautiful acts of love, courage, kindness, solidarity, and resilience. Many people coming together to take care of each other. Acts of love that are admirable, inspiring, and necessary to overcome the tough challenges that we all currently face.To all those who have taken the time and consideration to reach out and share stories, poetry, doodles, vegan recipes, interesting facts, and kind uplifting words: Thank you for all the love!Though a bit cheesy: I’m grateful for the sunflowers, who teach us to grow despite the adversity, stand upright, be strong, be bright, be vibrant, be beautiful, and be resilient. I’m grateful for all of my relations. I’m grateful for you!

"Des recently wrote a heartfelt statement from a federal prison cell in Fort Worth, TX, and asked that we share it with you. His words, excerpted here, overflow with the beauty and strength of his spirit" #praireland (1/3)
statement from des 
written july 6, 2026With a broken heart mended together with a sewing needle made from a battery and a string pulled from the elastic waistband from a jumper, reinforced with blank mail labels and a rubber band. With my head up high, teary eyes, and this broken heart full of love. I want to thank everyone for all of their support, love, and prayers as my family and I survive through this horrible injustice.Today, July 6, marks a year since I was unjustly abducted and wrongfully imprisoned. I sit in a concrete cell with a heavy steel door as an innocent person for a crime I did not commitThe reality is that I was arrested for being married to my wife, Mari, who has been unjustly convicted to 70 years for attending a public noise demonstration to support immigrants at the Prairieland detention center.

independence - but for who?

4th of july statement from political prisoner oso blamco White text on a black background reads: “Good evening, beautiful people. This is Oso Blanco. Please let me tell you why I DESPISE the 4th of July. This is NO “Happy Birthday for America.” For us, this 4th of July madness is the American celebration of their 1776 celebration ON OUR LAND for the American’s freedom from the British Empire.” Under statement text is purple bar directing readers to swipe to next slide.White text on a black background reads “Independence Day” for who, I ask? Not for Native people. This 4th of Juy marks the next 250 years of massive waves of genocide, land theft, extinction of may tribes, environmental destruction of the Earth—rivers, lakes, all waters air and soil. Under statement text is purple bar directing readers to swipe to next slide“The 4th marks unrestrained colonialism, and the oppression of Native spiritual lifeways, healing practices, and Native peoples’ freedom. So, in short, the 4th is the end of Native Nations’ freedom and safety from attack and destruction of our cultures and customs. There is NO WAY I can “celebrate” that stupid EVIL day in ’76. The positives do not outweigh the negatives. The negatives far. FAR outweigh the positives starting with the 4th of July 1776.

ABC South Florida has been busy and active! 2 weekends ago we posted up outside churchills with skunkapeliberationunion outside the International Noise Conference and hung out with verminsupremeofficial while we distributed our anti-ice whistle code goodie bags to the community.
anarcho-dog marvels at all the zines & community stuff We mobilized quick to give out over 100 of these over the next week to neighbors in Little Haiti as rumors spread that🧊 was going to be getting little Haiti heavy with TPS for Haitians ending. Thankfully this was blocked for now. Shout out to villaintheater for helping distro these to the neighborhood! 🙏 Inside the bags was a whistle, the whistle code zine from migrawhistle , red cards/know your rights cards in kreyol and Spanish, the free.des.revol zine, a flier explaining what The Anarchist Black Fross Federation is, and rad stickers from the homies cienfuegos.coop and el.monte.sfl to decorate the neighborhood to show authoritarian bullies aren’t welcome. 🏴‍☠️

This Valentine’s Day, show love & remember the political prisoners. Let them know the state can cage bodies but cannot cage resistance. Let them know their sacrifice is not erased. Let them know we are still here, still fighting, still organizing, still refusing to forget. Solidarity is a weapon.💖
This Valentine’s Day, show real love, remember the political prisoners.

Write to them.
Let them know the state can cage bodies but cannot cage resistance.
Let them know their sacrifice is not erased.
Let them know we are still here, still fighting, still organizing, still refusing to forget.

They tried to isolate them.
They tried to bury them in silence.
They failed.

Solidarity is a weapon.
Memory is resistance.

Last week on January 28th, 2026, our Texas comrades went to the concentration camp in Dilley, TX to demand the release of the babies, children, and families detained at the horrendous facility.  

5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father Adrian Conejo Arias were released 4 days later on 02/01/2026. 

10-year-old Elizabeth Zuna Caisaguano and her mother Rosa Elena Caisaguano Cajilema were released 6 days later on 02/03/2026. 

This is a huge win, but there are many more children and families who are still waiting to be released from Dilley as there’s currently a measles outbreak in the facility, such as 7-year-old Maria Isabella Bruces Lopez and her mother Yaniuska Lopez Contreras. 

It is important to remember that our fight is not over until every child and every immigrant is free from the concentration camp in Dilley, TX and all concentration camps across the U.S.

Marius Mason  is an anarchist, environmental, animal rights activist as well as a loving parent, artist, poet, and musician, currently serving nearly 22 years in federal prison for acts of property damage carried out in defense of the planet. 

He has fought tirelessly during his incarceration for trans prisoner rights.  Marius’ 2008 arrest was part of what has been subsequently termed the Green Scare, a series of environmental activist arrests based on snitching and FBI harassment of activists that set a precedent for charging non-violent activists with “terrorism.”

Bright green text explains that Mumia Abu-Jamal was arrested in 1981 and convicted in a trial described as racially biased, citing exclusion of Black jurors, a hostile judge, and prosecutorial misconduct. It states that although his death sentence was dropped, he remains imprisoned under a life sentence without parole despite calls for a new trial. At the bottom, larger green text reads: “But life without parole is not mercy. It is a slow death by incarceration.” On the right side, a white raised fist graphic symbolizes resistance and solidarity.Advocacy graphic on a dark, textured background with faint broken chain imagery. Bright green text states that Amnesty International found Mumia Abu-Jamal’s trial violated international standards, citing exclusion of Black jurors, judicial hostility, and politicized rhetoric. It notes that from prison he continues political commentary through Prison Radio. Additional text explains that his work has highlighted U.S. state violence, including the War on Drugs and the Iran-Contra scandal, linking U.S.-backed forces to cocaine trafficking that harmed Black communities.

⚡Phone Zap!!!⚡

It's recently come to light that an ICE recruitment event is scheduled to be held on Tuesday 1/13 and Wednesday 1/14 at the Hilton in St Petersburg. We need as many people as possible to call in to the location and tell the Hilton management that hosting an event of this kind is directly aiding in the kidnapping of members of our community by violent fascist thugs. and advise them that if they don't cancel the event, it will show the community that they are not a safe place to stay and that they should consider how that reputation might effect their business! Keep calling and keep talking their ears off about why following through with the event is a very bad idea.

Where to call:
Hilton St. Petersburg Carillon Park
(727) 540-0050

If you don't know what to say you can use the following script:Script to use:
"Hello, I am a resident of this area and have learned that your hotel is hosting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement recruiting event on January 13th and 14th. We strongly encourage you to reconsider hosting this event as well as your hotel’s ties to this agency. 

ICE is a known dangerous entity that terrorizes our community and this event will only serve to cause further fear and harm. We urge you to seriously consider what consequences that this will have on your business. We will not support companies that encourage violence against our community members. We consider hosting an event such as this to be an endorsement of these violent actions against our communities by ICE. 

As boycotts against companies with ties to these agencies continue to grow, we ask that you join us in standing against ICE and their abuse of our communities by withdrawing your support and canceling this event."

Political Prisoners are behind the bars this holiday season

While you gather with your family and loved ones this holiday season, consider that the United States holds political prisoners and people facing political charges all throughout the country on the state and federal level. One of the main things we do to support these political prisoners is run the ABCF Warchest fund.

The Anarchist Black Cross Federation (ABCF) initiated the Warchest program in November 1994 to send monthly donations to Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War who have been receiving insufficient, little, or no financial support during their imprisonment. Its purpose is to collect funds from groups and individual supporters and send that money directly to commissary accounts of vetted Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War (PP/POW) monthly. From inception to end of November 2025, we have raised almost $275,000.Ways to Donate to the ABCF Warchest

Check or money order: made out to Tim Fasnacht and sent to P.O. Box 8682, Lancaster, PA 17604.

Break The Chains
FREE ALL POLITICAL PRISONERS 

Their names are familiar to us. They are behind bars for their revolutionary actions. They come from all walks of life. They are of many races, creeds and colors. All are revolutionaries, and our lives were changed by their efforts. A popular slogan about our people locked down is 'remember, we're still here.' But how many of us are doing something about it?

Kamau SadikiVirgin Island Five
Abdul Azeez, Hanif Bey and Malik Smith Five Anti-Colonial Activists Sentenced toEight Life-Sentences for a Tragic Crime They Did Not Commit.

"Virgin Island Five" are group
of activists accused of mur-
dering eight people on a golf
course in the U.S. occupied
Virgin Islands. The men who
were accused were part of the
independence movement tak-
ing place throughout the
Caribbean region at that time.

During the early 1970s, a
movement against U.S. colo-
nial rule was spreading
through out occupied regions,
such as Puerto Rico and the
Virgin Islands. As part of this
movement, young men of
these occupied territories
began robbing White tourists,
who they felt represented the
colonial-rule. Despite the
growing epidemic, the media
downplayed this activity, for
fear it would damage the
tourist industry, which the is-
land's survival depends on.

Then on September 6th,
1972, eight American tourists
were gunned down at the
Rockefeller-owned golf
course on the island of St.
Croix. Over one hundred
Blacks men were brought in
for interrogations, and the
U.S. colonial troops carried
out a series of repressive acts
of violence against the Black
community. The F.B.I. and the
United States Army troops led
a 300-man invasion force into
the islands to conduct house-
to-house searches of the low-
income areas.

A few days after the incident,
police picked up Meral (Malik)
Smith and Beaumont Gereau
(later known as Haneef
Shabazz Bey.) After eight day
of searching, a local informant
provided information that lead
to the arrest of Warren Ballan-

Rest in Power

Jamil Abdullah Al Amin

October 4th, 1943 - November 23, 2025

Today we honor a warrior the state tried to silence but could never break. Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin— once H. Rap Brown of SNCC and the Black Liberation Movement — walked through this world with fire in his chest and truth on his tongue.

Stolen from his community, caged for decades, and denied the medical care that could’ve saved him — yet he never surrendered his faith, his discipline, or his commitment to the people. Even behind bars, he remained a symbol of resistance.

Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin died on November 23, 2025, not a “prisoner,” but a political captive of a system threatened by Black liberation, self-determination, and uncompromising truth.

May his spirit live in every struggle against oppression.

Rest in power, Imam. Your fight continues in us. ✊🏽🔥

not leave these comrades alone and let's send them solidarity letters, postcards and our message of fire. Even if the solidarity post is stolen and blocked by the administrators of abuse, they will know that we will hold them all responsible for what is taking place in Bandung. Let's shine a light on what the hated police torturers and regime of Prabowo Subianto are doing to our young comrades, and where it is taking place and by whom, and let's fight back against the
police and all prisons everywhere.

Crackdown in Indonesia, anarchists appeal for solidarity (1/4) October 27, 2025
Crackdown in Indonesia, anarchists appeal for solidarity

October 27, 2025
From Freedom News (UK) (source)Anarchists in Indonesia are calling for
international support for comrades
imprisoned and tortured following the
August uprisings. In the wake of mass
protests against corruption and
inequality, around 900 people are being detained and named as suspects, many of them anarchists or sympathisers, spread across various cities.

The latest solidarity call named over
40 anarchists arrested in West Java,
accused of being part of the so-called
"Chaos Star” network, which the
government describes as a "foreign-
backed anarchist group”. According to
an activist source, the arrests were
triggered by social media posts showing actions such as Molotov cocktail attacks.The detainees face charges ranging from property destruction to online
incitement. While many are still
awaiting trial, some of the accused
face up to 20 years in prison. The
imprisoned comrades have been isolated, and their access to legal
representation has been severely
restricted. Many are young, and their
families report widespread torture and abuse, with some forced to give false confessions.

Among those accused of "leading" the network and the recent anarchist
uprisings are Bima Satria Putra, an
anarchist jailed since 2021 on cannabis charges. Recently transferred to solitary confinement at Lapas Merah Mata, his family and lawyers have been blocked from seeing him. Another is Reyhard Rumbayan, known as Eat, who was
arrested in Makassar on 23 September 2025 and is currently held in solitary confinement and denied contact with others.The unrest began in August 2025, when widespread anger against former military leader Prabowo Subianto's regime sparked protests that quickly turned violent, and later spread to Nepal and the Philippines as well as Morocco, Madagascar and Peru. The Indonesian government has since responded with mass arrests, media manipulation, and brutal policing.

The crackdown is seen as part of a
broader government effort to suppress anarchist movements, echoing past anti-communist purges. International solidarity is crucial, as anarchists call on supporters to send letters and postcards to the imprisoned comrades.

we want to thank Civil Liberties Defense Center for bringing the fight to the U.S. Gov and for defending our rights! The CLDC has always had our backs. Follow the link @cldc.org to learn more about this case. A message from the CLDC: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS IF YOU RECEIVE A SUBPOENA NOTIFICATION
Legality of Exposing ICE
Civil Liberties Defense Center has filed a major new challenge to ICE's authority. On September 3, 2025 our client received a notification from Meta that they had been served by ICE with a subpoena seeking extensive personal information related to ourclient's Facebook and Instagram accounts.ICE, an immigration enforcement agency,does not have the authority to conduct independent criminal investigations, andespecially not of a US citizen suspected ofnon-immigration related crimes. Our clientruns Stopice.net, a website that tracks andmonitors ICE activity and is one of six people named in the subpoenaWhile constitutionally concerning on its own, what makes this case different is ICE's use of an "administrative subpoena" in an attempt to obtain information way outside ICE's authority. In the world of subpoenas there are two types, those issued by lawyers, judges and courts related to a pending legal action, like a trial or major hearing, and those issued by agencies like the IRS or ICE. An administrative subpoena, sometimes called an "agency subpoena," is ordinarily used by the agency to conduct business. For example, the IRS doesn't need to go to a court and ask a judge for a warrant to conduct a tax investigation, they can just issue a subpoena for information directly because Congress has granted them that authority.

Today we honor the life & legacy of Assata Shakur - revolutionary, writer, and freedom fighter. Assata lives on in every struggle for Black liberation, every fight against prisons and police, every act of solidarity with oppressed peoples worldwide. REST in POWER, Assata!
Today we honor the life and legacy of Assata Shakur — revolutionary, writer, and freedom fighter.

After surviving state violence, wrongful conviction, and years of imprisonment, Assata escaped the Clinton Correctional Facility for Women in New Jersey on November 2nd, 1979. She was freed by members of the Black Liberation Army, who posed as visitors, took two guards hostage, and commandeered a prison van. After a period in hiding, Shakur resurfaced in Cuba in 1984 where they embraced her and was granted political asylum and refuge. For over 45 years, despite being placed on the FBI’s “Most Wanted” list they were were never able to capture her. She remains a symbol of freedom, resistance, and defiance against an empire built on prisons and police. She is a testament to liberation and courage against an empire that tried to break her. Assata lives on in every struggle for Black liberation, every fight against prisons and police, every act of solidarity with oppressed peoples worldwide. She will remain in our hearts forever. REST in POWER, Assata!!!

ABC SoFLo completed their 1st annual RDTWs 2025 event! We raised over $750. We had comrades drive down from Texas, we also had comrades in Arkansas & North FLo complete their runs simultaneously with ours! In Solidarity with ALL Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War! Until Every Cage is Empty!
Our first Running Down the Walls event was rained out, but that DID NOT STOP US! We spent the day at the park, flags flying high, and sharing zines and food with curious neighbors. These crucial steps build community, helping us spread the word about abolitionist prisoner support and challenge others to question the inhumane prison industrial complex. Friends @cienfuegos.coop provided zines and coffee for the day! 

This year we raised a total of $750 for the Anarchist Black Cross War Chest, which distributes funds to political prisoners every month! Next year our goal is to raise over $1000 for those fighting inside. 

While nature may have had other plans, some of our members and attendees didn’t let that stop them; they completed the 5k under torrents of rainfall, honoring the commitment they made to those inside who were participating on this same day. Members of our chapter who have moved out of South Florida also participated in their new regions, running down the walls from afar! UNTIL EVERY CAGE IS EMPTY!!! #anarchistblackcross #runningdownthewalls2025 #freeallpoliticalprisoners #anarchistblackcrossfederation #untileverycageisempty #undertherain #run #walk #jog #roll #love #solidarity #antifascista #freepalesti̇ne #freesudan #freecongo #abolishice #1312

we've got 2 more comrades writing in! Running Down The Walls 2025 #rdtw
Hello, everyone. Thank you for your support. Whatyou all are doing makes a huge difference for
political prisoners and their families. The War Chest
has been an invaluable resource during my
incarceration! These past three years would have
been incredibly difficult without your love. Peace
and respect to you.

good night...rage, rage against

— Alex Stokes,
US political prisoner,
2025 Running Down the Walls statementSalutations and felicitations to all of my Running Down the Walls
Comrades!
Yet again we have travelled another circuit of the seasons and come
to the time and place for another operation of what has become an
institution outside of the barricade: the Running Down the Walls
run/walk/roll in support of fewer walls and cages and greater freedom
and community. The need for our side of the barricade to come
together to do as much as possible is becoming ever more acute.
The forces pillage and plunder are raising an increasingly dark social
storm cloud that segregates the human family into inherently
different and necessarily competitive groups surrounded by both
physical and cultural walls over which only enmity and conquest fly.
The image is hard to avoid. But that just makes it easier to resist!
And so we will when we lace up our
shoes, pull on our gloves, and RUN
DOWN THE WALLS, conscious of our
brethren, sistren, the men all moving
in the same direction with a rhythm
that will push back the storm, erode
the barriers between people, and
move the movement a little farther
down the road to revolution. I'll be
with you if not in person, in presence,
if not as fast more committed, as I
run down walls inside them.
The Future Holds Promise

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. Many places will be hosting the 25th annual RDTW on Sunday, September 15th, 2025!
Greetings, brothers and sisters,
on this beautiful day. It's time to
push for the limits and run down
the walls. I love this event, and I
hope to be free one day to run
alongside you all. But for now
I'm praying from the inside of
these ugly death camps, sending
you all my energy, prayers, and
words. Be strong at all times
and especially today. Envision in
your mind's eye those walls.
being taken down forever.
Remember East Berlin, Germany, where there is evidence that it can be a manifest reality.
It can be real! I love you all. You all are my heart. I thank you all and
love you very much. We all can make it happen. — Oso Blanco, US
political prisoner, 2025 Running Down the Walls statementDearest Comrades,
Greetings from behind the layered walls of imprisonment, where we are
captives in rebellion seeking collective liberation. We are each braving the
forces of fascism, and although we may not know all that confines you,
we hear and meet your calls for freedom. May we all draw strength today from the future we are building, the necessity of the times we are in, andfrom the memories of our fallen.
Our comrades in Athens once declared boldly, "The passion for freedom
is stronger than their cells", and we wholeheartedly profess the same.
Between the rage and sorrow of our forced separation and more
importantly the separation of vecinos all around you, we know
undoubtedly that social media posts, yard signs, and performative
protests are no longer enough. We need revolutionary commitment - a
refusal of debilitating despair and comfortable delusions. We need
examinations of uncomfortable complexities and contradictions to
resolve doubt and cast off the chains of a shallow past.
When you take to the pavement today, know that we are with you. Our
liberation bound together with great love because without it, our dreams
would have no meaning. Today we move with you; in motion, imagination,
and spirit: great strikes against defeat! Although we have yet to abolish
these prisons where pain goes to burrow, multiply, and explode, we
remain hopeful because from the shadows of these margins, humans
brave daring acts of subversion.
We are able to live with our losses
without succumbing to misery because of your unwavering comradeship.
Running Down The Walls creates social and political bonds that make visible our existence and our shared struggle in this threatening world. We are honored to run with you because "a wall is just awall" after all, let's run those shits down!
Juntos, Peppy & Krystal
2025 Running Down the Walls statementI just wanted to take a quick moment to send my
and respect to everyone participating in this years
Running Down The Walls. As the fascist grip tightens on
the entire planet, we need to remind those already
incarcerated and everyone who may join them that we
will speak their names, honor their sacrifices, and send
whatever aid we can. Remember: despite this rising tide
of war, repression, and ecocide- we are not beaten, our
friends are not forgotten, and the
struggle continues. With all of our
efforts these walls may yet be
brought down.
With gratitude,
Josh Harper, former US political
prisoner, 2025 Running Down the
Walls statementAs 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
