More Outreach Suggestions:

Enlist your friends, family, and community members in the freedom
campaign.
Hold events or facilitate activities that will spread awareness about
Leonard's case and galvanize active support.

Here are some ideas that have worked well in the past:

* Potluck/Meeting. Invite friends, family and coworkers, local
organizations, fellow supporters, and potential supporters to a
potluck and
planning meeting. Discuss the case and new strategies. Plan outreach,
fundraising and mobilization efforts for the months to come. The
discussion
might include:

+ Planning fundraisers
+ Planning to attend court or congressional hearings
+ Planning outreach efforts, such as regular leafleting in a public
place,
video showings, or talks
+ Visiting local churches, labor unions, civil and human rights
organizations to ask them to pass a formal resolution and for other
participation and support.

* Vigil. Invite local organizations, church members, tribal members,
and
general public to attend. Alert the media and announce new strategies
at the
vigil. Inform attendees of ways to get involved on a local level.

* Fundraiser. Hold a benefit concert with local bands, a poetry
reading, or
Indian taco or bake sales to raise funds for the Leonard Peltier
Defense
Offense Committee. Use the fundraiser to distribute information on
Leonard's
case.

* Leafleting—If you are not in a position to coordinate an event,
consider
leafleting in a busy area to generate more awareness.

* Petition Drive—Download and print our petitions. Collect signatures
of
people in your community who support Leonard Peltier's parole, the
release
of FBI case documents, an award of Executive Clemency to Leonard
Peltier,
and/or congressional hearings on the "Reign of Terror" on the Pine
Ridge
Reservation during the 1970s.

* "Call Circle"—Host a party and ask your guests to bring their cell
phones.
Coordinate calls to congressional offices and/or the White House.

* Street Theater—Devise skits that tell Leonard Peltier's story.
Perform the
skits on street corners in your community. Also distribute educational
materials.

* "Chalk It Up" Campaign—This is a simple action you can take in your
town
or city. Assemble a group of supporters, hand out chalk, and spread
out.
Write slogans in support of Leonard's freedom on sidewalks throughout
your
town. You might include our Web address (www.whoisleonardpeltier.info)
so
that interested passersby have the means by which to learn about
Leonard
Peltier.  (We recommend that you consult graffiti ordinances in your
area
and use only chalk because such markings are not permanent.)

* Prison Cell Exhibit—The standard size for a federal prison cell is
80
square-feet. Construct such a "prison cell" in a park or other public
place
and invite passersby to experience imprisonment for themselves. Post
signs:
"Construction and activation of this cell cost you $170,000" and "It
costs
you, the taxpayer, $25,000 per year to confine an innocent man. Free
Leonard
Peltier." Also distribute materials on Leonard's case.

You can find pamphlets, fact sheets, petitions, etc., on our Web site
