12 AM


Creative Frontline from Robert Lundahl and Tracker Ginamarie Rangel Quinone

Prefatory note:

Coleman 1 the federal prison where Leonard Peltier is held captive has gone on permanent lockdown.

Prisoners are supposed to be allowed out two hours a day but haven’t been.

The last time people talked to Leonard, he asked where his supporters were. He asked me if anyone cared about these lockdowns.

Leonard lives in a filthy, cold cell 22 to 24 hours a day. He has not seen a dentist in ten years.He lives in pain from untreated ailments. Leonard is a relentless truth-teller. THAT is why Leonard remains imprisoned. He will not lie. He will not beg, grovel, or denounce his beliefs.

Please raise your voice. Ask your representatives why they have abdicated their responsibility to oversee the Bureau of Prisons and ensure they adhere to Constitutional law.

Leonard should not have spent a day in prison. Click “LEARN” on this website to find out what really happened. www.freeleonardpeltiernow.org
