PRESS RELEASE
On November 27, 1999 at 2:00 p.m. people of conscience shall gather at
the foot of Porter Avenue, by the Niagara River, in LaSalle Park of the city
of Buffalo. This is the rally point in preparation to exercise our JAY
TREATY RIGHTS as we Caravan and March across the Peace Bridge to demonstrate
our continued support for the unconditional release of Leonard Peltier,
Mumia Abu-Jamal, and all political prisoners held in the United States and
Canada. To proclaim a National Day of Mourning in solidarity with the
UNITED AMERICAN INDIANS of NEW ENGLAND (507 years of oppression and
injustice). This action will further demonstrate our unwillingness to
accept the murder of our people, (like Dudley George). This is a protest of
the continued celebration of the murdering rapist, Christopher Columbus, and
the chemical contamination of the water on the Tuscarora Reservation where
people are denied the right to telephone service, as well as a celebration
of the release of the PUERTO RICAN 16. We are also demanding that October
12th be established as Aboriginal People's Day in both Canada and the United
States.
It is time to wake-up and stand-up for our brother and sisters, they
need our help. We have been too silent for too damn long. What happened to
LEONARD PELTIER, MUMIA ABU-JAMAL, the PUERTO RICAN 16, and DUDLEY GEORGE can
happen to any one of us. We are appealling to each and every man, woman,
and child to show up, to come out and support us. When you lok in the
mirror, the face that looks back is our face! Let us make sure that the
eyes are clear! Bring banners, posters, and Native flags. A FEAST WILL
FOLLOW THE PROTEST.
NOW IS THE TIME TO, TO STAND-UP FOR SOMETHING OR CONTINUE TO FALL FOR
EVERYTHING!!!! Let us start living on our feet by getting up off of our
knees!
Sincerely,
