n issue of vitalimportance to tens of millions of supporters of indigenous and humanrights throughout the world--the continued incarceration of American Indian Movement activist Leonard Peltier. Although Amnesty International has recognized Peltier as a political prisoner and called for his "immediate and unconditional release," he still sits in a federal cell ashe has for more than three decades launch a grassroots campaign to the federal parole commission and to the new administration of Barack Obama to at long last free Leonard Peltier. We need to turn a newpage in our relations with Native peoples, and the release of the "Mandela of Indian Country," as some writers have termed Peltier, would be an excellent starting point. Please don't
let Leonard Peltier die in prison.As we move into the next critical phase of the freedom struggle with animminent parole hearing (likely next month), Thank you
