Help Leonard Peltier get MEDICAL CARE & FREEDOM!

TAKE ACTION FOR LEONARD!

Leonard’s attorneys and medical team are working around the clock to ensure that he walks out of that door for good.

Leonard needs his supporters—all of us. The Senate Judiciary Committee is supposed to provide meaningful oversight to the FBI and BOP.

We must demand that they Do. Their. Job.

Please contact them (see list below). Relentlessly, if possible. Try to be polite but persistent. Leonard Peltier, #89637-132, needs an emergency transfer to a medical facility.

Even the parole examiner suggested that the BOP evaluate Leonard for a medical transfer. As there is currently no meaningful oversight, it was merely a suggestion.

Please see below for points to make in your email messages and/or letters to the Senators.

Here are the points to make:

1. Leonard Peltier is suffering from medical neglect! He hasn’t had any kind of dental care for at least 10 years! Federal prisoners are supposed to go to the dentist once a year.

2. He hasn’t had an eye exam in at least 10 years. He has only 20% vision in one eye, because of a stroke he suffered in that eye, and is losing the sight he has in the other eye. He needs to see an ophthalmologist to measure the pressure in his eyes to make sure he doesn’t have glaucoma. He has been complaining about headaches and is currently suffering occasional blindness.

3. He urgently needs to see an internal doctor. He has had an aortic aneurism for years and it is now 5cm. If he falls on it, the aneurism could burst and he will bleed to death.

4. He has arthritis on his right side, his hip, his arm and hand are severely impacted. He can’t sign his name because he can’t even pick up a pen. He is almost paralyzed on his right side because of the arthritis and not getting any kind of treatment for it.

5. He has diabetes and is not getting the food he needs to eat to help him manage it. Also, the prison is on constant lockdown, so Leonard Peltier, like all the other prisoners, is locked up in his cell. He can’t breathe fresh air, get exercise or get sunshine, which is super important for him for his health and well-being.

6. The accumulation of all of these illnesses are now super acute because he is not getting any kind of medical care. Not seeing doctors for years with all these health issues has worsened each and every one of these illnesses. He has to use a walker to move around, yet even with a walker he is falling.

The Leonard Peltier Ad Hoc Committee
is raising funds for medical and release efforts

Leonard will be 80 years old in September 2024. He is suffering with severe medical issues, which are not being treated by the prison. He is losing his eyesight (blindness that can be prevented) and has a host of painful and serious healthcare problems. Our elder, Leonard Peltier, needs to be transferred to a medical facility that can and will give him medical care.

Most of all, Leonard needs to go home to be with his family and community outside of prison, after 48 long years.

Our Committee is raising funds for expenses related to retaining independent medical experts, accommodations, travel, materials, and other expenditures related to Leonard's medical care and release efforts. This is all critical to get him proper medical care and release from prison.

Please contribute what you can. Share this fundraiser.
