We’re at the Burdick federal courthouse in Fargo, ND for #RiseUpforPeltier. @Ruth4Nd @TraceyLWilkie2
Chairman of the Sisseton Wahpeton Oyate Delbert Hopkins Jr. and Chairman of the Spirit Lake Nation Douglass Yankton Sr. Gave powerful testimony about the support Leonard Peltier has from Tribal Nations. @Ruth4Nd organized the rally today for #RiseUpforPeltier
@Ruth4Nd spoke about how incarcerated Natives, especially our elders, have not been received Covid release at the same rates as others. Peltier’s continued imprisonment continues this discriminatory and dangerous trend.
About fifty supporters gathered in freezing Fargo weather for #RiseUpforPeltier. This is the city where Peltier was convicted after the venue was moved when his co-defendants were found not guilty by reason of self-defense for the same charges.
AIM song for #RiseUpforPeltier.
