This will help to keep the momentum going. We urgently need financial support to make this effort a success. Travel expenses, advertising, copying, etc. will be extremely costly. A fund drive is planned for Leonard' birthday which is September 12. Also, suggestions for funding agencies are welcome.
Help is needed from all over, however, help is especially needed from the East Coast.
Have a meeting to find out if there are people in your area who want to be in DC for part of Leonard Peltier Freedom Month. If groups of people can come for designated days to take part in the activities and especially the nightly vigils, volunteer to organize caravans, buses, logistical details, etc. A committee to be responsible for outreach and publicity, especially in the DC area and the East Coast. People who can distribute and post flyers and posters, contact radio stations to announce events, and make sure scheduled events are covered in local publications are needed. A group of people in DC who can help in general on all levels is needed.
