Quote:Leonard Peltier is a prisoner of war. A political prisoner, incarcerated for a crime he did not commit, by a government that has no intention of ever finding out the reality behind what happened. Because the reality is not something it wants to deal with, it doesn’t want to talk about the oppression of indigenous people; it doesn’t want to talk about the ritualistic abuses that occurred on reservations all over this country. It doesn’t want to discuss the idea of democracy put into practice when it applies to individuals who live on a res or who live in sub-standard conditions inside a decaying system, inside a conjured democracy. And now we are coming to terms with that reality.

Leonard Peltier is a living example of that struggle. And we need to do everything that we can to spread the word and let people know that our struggle like Leonard Peltier will not die. We will not allow it to die. Not in our hearts, not in our souls and not in the physical reality that we live in right now.

This is on point.
My teacher from high school works very closely with a group of activist in the Bay Area that work in favor of Leonard Peltier and other political prisoners. This week when I went back to visit my high school, I was talking to my teacher and they are gonna do a panel discussion at the school on Political Prisoners, mainly focusing on Peltier and Mumia Abu Jamal...is gonna be on January so if I don't go to Peru and stay in the States Im going to go and film it.

I love this interlude/speech!
