SCOTLAND:
I am organizing a showing of Robert Redford’s film 'Incident at Oglala' to be shown at the Forest Cafe in Edinburgh, Alba (Scotland) at 6.00pm on the 12th of September. I will try to alert as many media outlets as possible to highlight the case on the day ... let us free the American Mandela through the raising of our voices against this case that pokes a finger in the eye of United States justice.

MARYLAND:
Here in Maryland, I will do the following:
Send a box of books to Pine Ridge, where they may be distributed among those who are interested.
Send Leonard a card.
Try to get a copy of Incident At Oglala for my local library.
