[Peace] Film showing: "Incident at Oglala" at the UCIMC.

[Karen Aram]

Monday, October 14th, from 7-9pm,

Join the Champaign-Urbana branch of the Party for Socialism and Liberation as we celebrate Indigenous Peoples’ Day with a screening of Incident at Oglala at the UCIMC.

The film depicts the events which led to the arrest and trial of Leonard Peltier, Robert Robideau, and Darrell Butler for the alleged murder of two FBI agents in the summer of 1975. While Robideau and Butler were later released, Peltier was convicted and remains in prison to this day. As a Turtle Mountain Chippewa tribe member, Leonard Peltier has been a long-time activist and a socialist voice for Native American rights. The International Indian Treaty Council, South African Communist Party member Nelson Mandela, the Ejército Zapatista de Liberación Nacional, Pope Francis, and many other socialist and progressive allies have long called for Peltier’s release, in clemency appeals that have been denied by multiple US Presidents, including Obama and Clinton.

We, the Party for Socialism and Liberation, loudly join in these calls and say: Free Leonard Peltier! For the 2020 elections, Leonard Peltier is running on the Party for Socialism and Liberation's ticket for Vice President of the US--from the cell he has been in for 43 years. He is joined by Gloria La Riva, who is the PSL's candidate for US President.
