    Leonard Peltier is going home!

    A livestream conversation hosted by TRN Podcast host Nick Estes and prominent members of the Leonard Peltier movement for clemency!

    Statement by The Red Nation: "After a half-century of unjust incarceration, Leonard Peltier is finally going home! “It’s finally over–I’m going home,” said Peltier in response to the news. “I want to show the world I’m a good person with a good heart. I want to help the people, just like my grandmother taught me.” For decades, the now elder Dakota and Ojibwe member of the American Indian Movement represented a powerful symbol for millions. His imprisonment has been viewed as collective punishment against generations of Indigenous people who fought for liberation, from the Red Power Movement of the 1960s and 1970s to the Water Protector Movement that fought against the construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline in 2016."
