I have worked with a few Native American rights and advocacy groups over the years to combat, and raise awareness about; the pervasive injustice Native Americans have experienced historically. I have also learned about the miscarriage of justice in the Leonard Peltier case. Peltier, a member of the American Indian Movement, was accused and convicted of killing two FBI agents during a shootout on the Pine Ridge reservation in 1975 even though no witnesses identified him as the shooter and ballistics were inconclusive. Please watch the video below and help take action for Leonard Peltier, who has been in prison for forty years despite calls for clemency from all around the world. Contact President Obama and request clemency for Leonard Peltier, share this video, and help spread the world! Thank you for caring! – Shepard
