On Saturday, Feb. 4 in Tacoma, WA, people will be marching in the support of Leonard Peltier. Peltier, long time Native Activist and member of the American Indian Movement was convicted in 1975 for shooting two FBI officers. Prosecutors have continually stated that they cannot prove Peltier's guiilt. He has been in prison for 35 years for a crime he did not commit. The events of Feb. 4th are being organized to show that Peltier is not forgotten and that there are many who will not rest until he is free.
