Leonard Peltier Freedom Ride 2016 in DC July 23-24
/ Currents / 10 Jul 2016
Published July 10, 2016
Leonard Peltier has been in prison for 40 years
BANKS, OREGON— Peltier Justice for All, Inc. will begin the Leonard Peltier Freedom Ride 2016, an across country motorcycle ride, on Wednesday, July 13, 2016 from Banks, Oregon. The 3,000 mile freedom ride will arrive in Washington, D.C. on Saturday, July 23, 2016, to seek the release of Leonard Peltier.
Convicted of the killing of two FBI agents on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation in June 1975, many have argued, including former U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark, Peltier was not given a fair trial. To many, Peltier is considered a prisoner of war and represents the struggle American Indians still face for justice in the United States.
The organizers of the freedom ride will have a rally at the U.S. Capitol on Saturday, July 23 and Sunday, July 24.
This rally and freedom ride is being organized by Leonard’s oldest son, Chauncey Peltier.
