"Silence, they say, is the voice of complicity.
But silence is impossible.
Silence screams.
Silence is a message,
just as doing nothing is an act.
Let who you are ring out & resonate
in every word & every deed.
Yes, become who you are.
There's no sidestepping your own being
or your own responsibility.
What you do is who you are.
You are your own comeuppance.
You become your own message.
You are the message."
~Leonard Peltier
... no human being should ever have to fear for his or her life because of their political or religious beliefs. We are in this together, my friends, the rich, the poor, the red, white, black, brown and yellow. We share responsibility for Mother Earth and those who live and breathe upon her. Never forget that.
~Leonard Peltier
We are the American Indian Movement, we are the Black
Panthers, we are MOVE, we are the Viet Cong, we are the Irish Republican Army and the Palestinian Liberation
Organization. We are every man, woman and child who
desires to see a sunrise in a land of freedom and
opportunity, a land of plenty and not hunger, a land of
choices without fear, a land of progress without brutality.
~ Leonard Peltier
The United States government can indict you on
something, and now you've got to prove your innocence.
And that's not the Constitution of the United States.

“Well... I still can't see the light at the end of the
tunnel. These politicians are such sleazebags that you
just don't know. You can't really get anything from a
lot of them once they get into power. They totally
forget about all their commitments. The poor people
elect them, and they forget about all the poor people.”
~ Leonard Peltier
“They still don't want to admit to the world that this
isn't the best and the fairest and most equal justice
system. And that they are guilty of railroading people
into jail. They don't want to, or never will, admit these things.”
~ Leonard Peltier
