Happy 62nd Birthday Leonard!
World wide September 12th Birthday events for Leonard Peltier

 Update on Fasting Group:
Several weeks from now some of us will again fast from October 1-12, calling for an end to the unjust and vindictive imprisonment of Leonard Peltier, for an end to the celebration of Oct. 12th as Columbus Day and for it to be renamed Indigenous Peoples Day. If you will be participating with us for all or part of this time, please be in touch. In addition, some of us will be remembering Leonard on September 12th, his birthday, by fasting on that day. Please be in touch if you will be joining us.
For future generations
