Dinner raises funds for Leonard Peltier's art
Published Dec 20, 2007 6:38 PM
The Leonard Peltier Support Committee held a potluck holiday dinner in
honor of Native American political prisoner Leonard Peltier at the
International Action Center office in New York on Dec. 17.
Attorney Lynne Stewart, whose case arising from her energetic defense of an
alleged “terrorist” goes to court again on Jan. 29, attended, as
did activists from the Free Mumia Committee and from the Justice and Unity
Campaign at WBAI, along with many others. The dinner raised funds to help pay
for Leonard Peltier’s art supplies, bought from the prison
commissary.
In the photo, supporters hold up a poster made from a self-portrait by Leonard
Peltier, who has been in prison for over 31 years on what many have shown to be
trumped-up charges of murdering two FBI agents during the 1975 shoot-out at
Pine Ridge, S.D.
