We're extremely grateful about Leonard Peltier's release from prison! That said, our director, Chase, has some thoughts about the context: https://t.co/w6sRKbQdQc

Peltier supporters Rage Against the Machine have been in Leonard’s corner since the 90s. They have kept up the fight to Free Leonard since then, and their dedication has finally paid off.

President Biden has granted Leonard Peltier commutation of his life sentence, to serve the remainder of his sentence at home, effective February 18th, 2025. NDN Collective called Leonard Peltier just outside of the Coleman, FL prison after the news was confirmed, to ask if he had a message for Indian Country.

LEONARD PELTIER IS GOING HOME!! For almost 5 decades human rights organizations, Native American activists, average everyday people and bands like RATM have lobbied for the release of political prisoner, Leonard Peltier. Leonard has become a friend over the years and I am so glad at 80 years old and in poor health he will be able to spend his remaining years with family and friends. For this MASSIVE RIFF MONDAY there can be only one choice, RATM’s “FREEDOM” whose video exposed a new generation to this historical injustice.

Sharp expects the hearing to last the day. The decision is required to come within 21 days. If parole is granted, the process for release shouldn't take long. If denied, Peltier can look at his options for filing an appeal to a federal district court.
