When: Monday, March 6th at the Community Church,-New York City
Time: 6:30 pm
Address: 40 East 35th Street between Park and Madison Avenues.
Monday evening's program includes a special message from Leonard Peltier.
There will also be speakers on the program including:
Ramsey Clark, Amy Goodman, Tiokasin Ghosthorse of First Voices Indigenous
Radio, Barry Bachrach and Mike Kuzma, Attorneys for Leonard Peltier, and
Toni Zeidan, Coordinator of Leonard Peltier Defense Committee.
Leonard is a citizen of the Anishinabe and Dakota/Lakota nations who has been unjustly imprisoned since 1976, even though government attorneys and courts acknowledge that the government withheld evidence, fabricated evidence, and coerced witnesses to fraudulently convict him.
Leonard is recognized worldwide as a political prisoner and a symbol of resistance against the abuse and repression of Indigenous People. To many Indigenous Peoples, Leonard Peltier is a symbol of the long history of abuse and repression they have endured.
This year marks the 30th year anniversary of Leonard's imprisonment. Despite the fact that the government has admitted that the trial was a fraud, Leonard is still behind bars because the US doesn't want this vocal defender of Indigenous rights to be free.
Donation for this event is $5, and larger donations are encouraged.
