Dear Friends,
Many thanks to the many of you who came out today (in the biting cold ), and to you all for all of your activism, support, and solidarity!!
As you’ll have noted, theres a lot going on! More every day! We must stop the drumbeat toward more hate, war-mongering, and injustice. So heres a supplemental (and slightly tweaked )weekly update including a few newly popped up events:
**
Sat, Jan 7, 3-5pm, Free Leonard Peltier! Watch Movie, Sign Petitions, etc. all at Burning Books, 420 Connecticut St., Buffalo. Come watch Warrior The Life of Leonard Peltier and sign petitions, send post cards to urge Pres. Obama in his last moments to grant Clemency to Leonard Peltier! Also, you can go to http://www.freepeltiernow.org/ for more info.
We were more than honored to have Lakota Spiritual Leader Chief Arvol Looking Horse here on Monday. His strength and depth were inspiring. You can see Orin Languelle’s excellent photo essay of the experience here: Standing Rocks Arvol Looking Horse Speaks in Buffalo: Photo Essay.
Chief Arvol emphasized that this is a spiritual struggle – he asked for our prayers.
