Birds-eye-view of a prison with four walls made of bricks. Barbed wire on top. Bottom two walls are broken down and people of different body types and accessibility are running/walking/rolling out of the prison to freedom–one of them is Gritty on a skateboard. A tree is growing from inside the prison walls with roots extending beyond. The tree is much taller than the walls. Top of tree has a banner that reads “Stop Cop City.” Text on inside of walls reads “Running Down The Walls 2023.” On the bottom left is MXGM logo. It is a circle with the words “Malcolm X Grassroots Movement” displayed in a circular pattern, with an “X” in the middle with an embedded face picture of Malcolm X. The “X” has an “M” to the left of it and “G” “M” to the right of it, to spell out “MXGM.” To the right is the Philly ABC banner logo. The banner logo spells out Philadelphia Anarchist Black Cross with a cross and black fist that stand in place of the second “I” in “Philadelphia”.
