Petitions
We the People—Sign
the Peltier clemency petition in the We the
People section of the White House Web site.
Congressional
Investigation—For decades, we have
requested that a congressional hearing be held to address the
events on the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation during the 1970s. In spring 2004, the Judiciary Committee (U.S. House of
Representatives) announced plans to investigate misconduct on the part of the Federal Bureau
of Investigation (FBI). In response, the Peltier attorneys submitted a formal
request to Congress for this investigation to include a full
examination of the misconduct exhibited on the Pine Ridge Indian
Reservation during the 1970s, and in the case against Leonard
Peltier. Recently, activist organizations also have called for
a congressional hearing on the long-term effects of COINTELPRO.
Join with these organizations and support this action. Sign

your support for an award of Executive Clemency to Leonard
Peltier. View/sign

Executive Review—On
August 21, 2009, upon hearing the news that Leonard Peltier had
again been denied parole, we renewed the call for an Executive
Review of the Peltier case by the U.S. Department of Justice.

FOIA Documents—Tens
of thousands of documents on the Peltier case have yet to be released by
the FBI. Urge that congressional hearings be held on the
handling of Leonard Peltier’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests. The FBI must be required to divulge the exact number
of documents it maintains on Leonard Peltier and the Field
Offices that maintain these records; the total number
of documents regarding this case that have been
destroyed, as well as the date and authority under which
records were destroyed; and whether or not any records
dealing with Leonard Peltier have been transferred to any
other agencies, as well as pertinent details of those
transfers. Most importantly, the FBI must release all
documents related to the Peltier case. These documents are over
25 years old and are considered historically significant.
Further, they may contain information that may exonerate Leonard
Peltier. Sign the
online petition.
