Participate in honoring Leonard Peltier with socially and politically conscious music and poetry.

In honoring Leonard Peltier's lifelong commitment to activism not only for native american issues but also for the all peoples on the planet (indeed we are all connected), let's highlight immigration rights, the environmental crisis, first nation rights, women's rights, and global poverty and sweatshop/slave labour practices and so on.

"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.

In the Spirit of Crazy Horse"

Leonard Peltier
