Newsletter – 21 Jan 2019

Hello, Friends!

SHOP Jan. 21, 2019 Greetings Friends, Family and Supporters; On this holiday celebrating the life of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. we had planned a legal visit with Leonard, to let him know about the wonderful support that you all have shown in supporting his request for a transfer to FCI Oxford, WI. As we researched the distance from FCI Oxford to his family in Fargo, ND we realized that it was a day’s drive , about 460 miles to his sister, Betty’s house in Fargo. This will be the closest he has ever been to his family in the 44 years he has been in prison. So please keep sending those e-mails, letters fax’s & calls in support of his move. I realize the shut-down of the government has slowed down the process but we want thousands of pieces of support for his transfer when the government re-opens.

And last night they had an exciting fundraiser in Portland, OR. put on by the Peltier Support group, Jericho, Red Lodge and others to build the legal support fund, for attorney Larry Hildes, who is representing Leonard in his First Amendment case out of Tacoma, Washington. This case will expose the FBI and retired agents in their continued harassment of Leonard struggle for justice. I also want to acknowledge Chase Iron Eyes as the new National Spokesperson for Leonard and thank him and Nathan Phillips, who showed how to resists with respect against racism at the Indigenous Peoples March. Nathan is a former board member and longtime Leonard supporter as well as Sun Dance Brother for Leonard. Thank you again for all your support. As we share with Leonard these reports, it gives him great hope that his struggles, and his search for justice are just around the bend, on the road we are all traveling with him in 2019. Please check out our website to donate to Leonard’s legal fund or shop at our store for beautiful prints, a lithograph or other merchandise to support the National Office as we hope to be moving to WI before the year is out.
