We may be see some rain today, but the struggle continues rain or shine, and so does Running Down The Walls! Bring a rain/windbreaker jacket, dry pair of socks, umbrellas, etc. There will also be some canopy coverage and Ponchos if needed. Temperatures look to stay around 71 degrees.

Of the prisoners participating this year is #MumiaAbuJamal. Please stick around for an extremely important meeting at 2pm to mobilize for his October court date. It’s life or death for Mumia. This MUST be the year we bring him home.
