Leonard Peltier is an Indigenous elder and activist who has been incarcerated in the USA for nearly 50 years despite serious and ongoing concerns about the fairness of his trial, including for example the prosecution’s withholding of evidence that might have assisted Peltier’s defense.

Peltier turned 80 years old in September and was recently denied parole and compassionate release. Peltier suffers from a variety of ailments, including kidney disease, Type 2 diabetes, a heart condition, and a large and potentially fatal abdominal aortic aneurysm.

Call on President Biden to commute the sentence of Leonard Peltier and release him.
