With much increasing repression from this current administration we ask if you can to support the warchest for political prisoners and prisoners of war. No donation is too small and there is still a little over a week left.

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. 'Do not go gentle into that good night...rage, rage against the dying of the light' — Dylan Thomas — Alex Stokes, US political prisoner, 2025 Running Down the Walls statement Salutations 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.
