Running Down the Walls 2026

Join us outside the federal jail downtown for RUNNING DOWN THE WALLS, the annual inside/outside 5K marathon, generator show and ABCF Warchest fundraiser in solidarity with political prisoners. FREE THEM ALL! 🏴

MCC Chicago - Sept 19th 2026 71 W Van Buren 5PM Rally, March & 5K Marathon 7PM Generator show with bands and DJs (TBA)

We descend upon MCC Chicago amidst a dramatic escalation of fascist repression under the Trump Administration. Federal agents are ravaging our communities to murder and kidnap with impunity while dissent is targeted as terrorism. Now more than ever we must stand together to bring a fierce and endless solidarity; to have the backs of those facing repression while bringing the resistance to the front gates. Free the Prairieland defendants! Free all political prisoners! Free them all!

More info TBA. Seeking endorsers, tablers, and performers; we're also inviting people behind bars to send in statements to be read and will set up a # for people to call in
