Dear friends and affiliated members:
Once again we are planning to have a picnic and vigil for Leonard Peltier on June 26th in London. Please join us on this day to remember all those who died in the Pine Ridge reign of terror in the 1970s resulting in the continued imprisonment of Leonard Peltier and also to give support to the indigenous people of Turtle Island who are still being persecuted to this day.
WHERE:
We will gather in the area around the Fountain of Life adjacent to the Aldford Street North gate in Hyde Park and have an informal picnic and socialising. Please bring your own food and maybe some to share. We will then proceed to the American Embassy in Grosvenor Square for a vigil and the handing in of our petition and letter. If the weather is wet the gathering will be around the covered seating area adjacent to the Brook Street Gate.
WHEN:June 26th 2007.
TIME: The picnic will be from 12 noon until just before 2pm and then at the American Embassy from around 2:30pm onwards.
HOW TO GET THERE:The nearest underground station is Marble Arch (Central Line). Take one of the exits marked for Hyde Park or Park Lane, walk through Speakers Corner and continue down parallel with Park Lane. There are numerous buses that go to this area so just ask for Marble Arch, or Speakers Corner. The nearest parking is in the underground car park on Park Lane (clearly marked) or Pay and Display all around Grosvenor Square.We will need to notify the police of approximate numbers expected as we may require a police escort. This would give us a higher profile and possibly even media coverage; so could you let us know how many will be attending a.s.a.p.
Thank you.Looking forward to seeing you all there.
In Solidarity,

Washington DC-
A Morning with Michael Blake,
DATE: June 25, 2007
LOCATION: The Library of Congress, West Dining Room
ADDRESS: 101 Independence Ave S.E. Washington DC
TIME: 10 am-12 noon
Michael Blake, author of Dances with Wolves will read from his latest publication; Indian Yell, The Heart of an American Insurgency. Indian Yell is his first non-fiction work and reflects more than thirty years of study. Mr. Blake will also discuss Leonard Peltier and considers Leonard Peltier’s incarceration consistent with the lawless treatment of his antecedents. Like Santanta and Spotted Tail before him, Peltier sits in a cell by virtue of resistance, not proven guilty.
“ Wrongfully convicted of murder, Leonard Peltier stands today for Indian people in America as a symbol of the traditional values long discarded by the ‘civilized’ world in its scramble for wealth. Adherence to these values has been the key to his survival through thirty years of slavery behind bars” – Michael Blake, author Indian Yell
