ACTION ALERT:
President Biden Should Free Leonard Peltier
Amnesty International

(December 3, 2024) — Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist, has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years in the USA for a crime he maintains he did not commit. There are serious and ongoing concerns about the fairness of his trial and conviction. Tribal Nations, Nobel Peace Laureates, former FBI agents, numerous others, and even the former US Attorney, James Reynolds, whose office handled the prosecution, have called for Leonard Peltier’s release.

Now 79 years old, he suffers from several chronic health ailments, including one that is potentially fatal. President Biden should grant him clemency and release him before it is too late.

Senator Brian Schatz (D-HI) and Representative Raúl Grijalva (D-AZ) have written a joint letter to President Biden urging him to grant Peltier clemency before he leaves office on January 20^th. Senator Schatz and Representative Grijalva have invited their colleagues in the Senate and House to sign on to the letter. The more Senators and Representatives who sign on, the greater the pressure on President Biden to act.
