*RUNNING DOWN THE WALLS:*
On Sunday, September 2nd, 2012 at 10 a.m., the Los Angeles Anarchist Black
Cross will host a 5k run / walk / jog / bike at MacArthur Park, in downtown
Los Angeles, CA. This event is designed to raise much-needed funds for the
ABCF Warchest and Revolutionary Autonomous Communities (RAC)
*RAISING FUNDS:*
Our goal for this years run is $3,000. Funds will be divided between the
following:
*The Warchest Program *was created in November of 1994. Through the
program, The ABCF sends monthly financial support to Political Prisoners
and Prisoners of War (PP/POWs) who have received insufficient, little, or
no financial support during their imprisonment. Funds from the Warchest are
distributed through monthly stipends to the political prisoners in need.
Prisoners use this money to cover the basic necessities of everyday living.
Since its inception, the ABCF has raised over $56,000 through the Warchest
program.
* POLITICAL PRISONER:*
* **A person incarcerated for actions carried out in support of
legitimate struggles for self-determination or for opposing the illegal
policies of the government or its political subdivisions.* (Special
International Tribunal on the Violation of Human Rights of Political
Prisoners and Prisoners of War in the United States Prisons and Jails,
December, 1990.)
*Revolutionary Autonomous Communities (RAC): *was created in* *the
aftermath of the May Day 2007 police riot targeting migrant workers who
dared stand up for our human rights. Members of the MacArthur Park area and
others joined together to support those with no papers and those with no
means. RAC-LA came forward to aid the community in self-organizing such
that with the help of each other we might make an inhuman way of living a
bit more bearable while at same time acquiring the means to one day
transform this system into an image of our own humanity.
