“If they haven’t got prisoners, we have stopped fighting. If our prisoners are forgotten about, they have beaten us.” -Keith Mann, ALF activist and former prisoner
This is a 5k event for political prisoners. Attendance is appreciated even if you do not run/jog/walk/bike. Just show up so those who fight for freedom are not forgotten.
Since 1999, political prisoners and support organizations across the country have held a 5k non-competitive run/jog/walk/bike event to raise awareness and funds for the numerous political prisoners currently held in North American prisons.
As part of this effort, we will be gathering from 11:00 to 3:00 at the Lake Harriet Bandshell, where there will be an informal picnic, good times, and even band aids on hands for all participants.
One loop around Lake Harriet is 5k, and we welcome all those who want to participate in the 5k in whatever manner, even just to cheer! We ask for a $10 donation, and all funds raised will go to the Anarchist Black Cross (ABC) Warchest Program which is designed to send monthly checks to those Political Prisoners and Prisoners of War who have been receiving insufficient, little, or no financial support during their imprisonment.
Vegan food and beverages will be on hand, but also feel free to bring something to share!
