"THE LONGEST WALK 2008" : http://www.longestwalk.org/

On Feb. 11th, Longest Walk participants embarked on a 5 month journey from San Francisco to Washington, D.C. arriving on July 11th. The Longest Walk south route is being led by AIM co-founder Dennis J. Banks. It is an extraordinary grassroots effort on a national level to bring attention to the environmental disharmony of Mother Earth, sacred site issues, and to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the original longest walk.

Free Leonard Peltier!!

By his appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, Leonard seeks to overturn the United States Parole Commission’s (“Commission”) refusal to consider Leonard for parole until December 2008. The normal federal guidelines for parole of prisoners convicted of similar crimes is 200+months. Though Leonard will have served over 325 months (already over 11 years beyond the normal guideline time for release as established by the Commission’s regulations) by the time of the hearing, the Commission refused even to consider establishing a parole date until Leonard will have served almost double the normal guideline time...

The Save the Peaks Coalition was formed to address environmental and human rights issues caused by proposed ski resort development on the San Francisco Peaks, a mountain in Northern Arizona held sacred by over 13 Native American Nations.

The proposed development will further the desecration of this sacred site, increase threats to endangered species, and cause environmental destruction.
