Leonard asked me to come visit him since I was in the area, so I did. He was in good spirits but wants out now. “I was never sentenced for life and without parole.” Leonard has served 5 life sentences, 60 years including good time. He is asking everyone to push for his freedom.

Heard from Leonard Peltier, twice today. I’m completely amazed at how upbeat he is. Each time he calls, I try to take good notes. He talks fast but, you have to when the phone calls are in 15 min increments. Hesitant in sharing this, but sis says we need to share. ♥️☀️.
