There is going to be a "FREEDOM RUN" in Europe for Leonard Peltier between
June 20th-July22nd. It's aim is to raise funds for Leonard's defense at
this crucial time. The network in the UK (where I'm writing from) is
organising local events to coincide with the run in Europe.

If anyone wants to know more about the event in Europe, I can put you in
touch with someone who is helping to organise the event over there.
Otherwise, I will send more information about it in due course.

'Mining is increasingly encroaching on the land of Indigenous Peoples, as
multinational companies seek to extract minerals from ever more remote
areas of the Earth' (Minewatch). There is going to be a Mining and
Indigenous People's Consultation in London next week, organised by the
London Minewach group. Indigenous people from around the world will be
attending, to formulate positive action on this grave situation.
I will update on this next week.

Walk in beauty,
