The Red Nation Podcast – Leonard Peltier Mixtape Vol. 2
Episode 343 of The Red Nation Podcast
February 6th is International Day of Solidarity with Leonard Peltier and All Political Prisoners. Today marks the 49th year of Leonard Peltier’s wrongful imprisonment. Free Palestine! Free Leonard Peltier!
01. [00:00] TRN-KREZ Morning ShowFeb 6 , 2024 – Good morning, Turtle Island
02. [01:15] 49May 3, 2023 – President Biden: Free Leonard Peltier – Amnesty International USA
Leonard Peltier, a Native American activist, has been imprisoned for nearly 50 years in the USA for a crime he maintains he did not commit. There are serious and ongoing concerns about the fairness of his trial and conviction. Tribal Nations, Nobel Peace Laureates, former FBI agents, numerous others, and even the former U.S. Attorney, James Reynolds, whose office handled the prosecution, have called for Leonard Peltier’s release. Watch to learn more.
03. [04:14] WhistleblowerJan 18, 2023 – Ex-FBI Agent breaks the silence on Leonard Peltier and COINTELPRO w/ Coleen Rowley X
The first FBI agent close to the Leonard Peltier case is calling for his freedom. Coleen Rowley recounts, in this wide-ranging and exclusive interview, her time as an agent in the Minneapolis field office. For nearly 50 years, the FBI has indoctrinated its agents on a specific version of events that led to Leonard Peltier’s arrest, conviction, and imprisonment. The mentality then, Rowley argues, is little different than the mentality today. That’s why she decided to break the silence and is calling on President Joe Biden to grant Leonard Peltier executive clemency.
Rowley gives us an insider’s view of the FBI and how the dark and violent history of COINTELPRO, which targeted civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Jr. and social movements like the Black Panthers and AIM, didn’t end in 1971. It morphed and evolved over the years and continued well into the U.S. war on terror. Despite attempts at reform and accountability, the FBI continues its ongoing persecution of political prisoners like Leonard Peltier and the unarmed Water Protectors at Standing Rock.
04. [17:00] Don’t Believe LiesMar 28, 2022 – The importance of Leonard Peltier to Indigenous peoples
Co-hosts of Red Power Hour Melanie Yazzie and Elena Ortiz on the meaning of Leonard Peltier to Indigenous peoples.
05. [32:02] OglalaJul 25, 2022 – Remembering the Reign of Terror at Oglala
It’s been 47 years since the shootout at Oglala that left two FBI agents and a young Native man named Joe Stuntz dead. While Leonard Peltier unjustly sits in prison for the events of that day, the shootout and the deadly legacy of the “reign of terror” remain an open wound for community members and the American Indian Movement. Here’s their story.
06. [38:07] FatherSep 4, 2022 Leonard Peltier’s Walk to Justice
The American Indian Movement has organized “Leonard Peltier’s Walk to Justice” from Minneapolis to Washington, D.C., where organizers plan to meet with government officials to demand the release of Peltier from the U.S. federal prison system. This recording is taken from the kickoff event in Minneapolis held on August 31st.
07. [44:10] Walk to JusticeNov 20, 2022 – “Your people are coming for you”: the Leonard Peltier Walk to Justice 2022
The Leonard Peltier Walk to Justice kicked off in Minneapolis, Minnesota on September 1st, 2022. Ten weeks and 1103 miles later it reached Washington, D.C., where a rally was held demanding the freedom of Leonard Peltier, unjustly imprisoned for over 47 years.
08. [01:01:58] 79Sep 12, 2023 – ‘A stain of injustice’: Free Leonard Peltier White House rally
On September 12, hundreds gathered on Piscataway lands in front of the White House to demand executive clemency for Leonard Peltier, who celebrated his 79th birthday that day. A caravan of supporters, family, and loved ones departed after ceremony from Rapid City, South Dakota en route to Washington, D.C.– a 1,600 mile journey that arrived on Monday, September 11.
09. [01:06:38] We Are VictoriousNov 23, 2023 – National Day of Mourning 2023
An annual tradition since 1970, National Day of Mourning is a solemn, spiritual and highly political day. Many of us fast from sundown the day before through the afternoon of that day (and have a social after NDOM so that participants in NDOM can break their fasts). We are mourning our ancestors and the genocide of our peoples and the theft of our lands. NDOM is a day when we mourn, but we also feel our strength in action and solidarity.
10. [01:18:55] Free All Political PrisonersFeb 7, 2020 – Rise Up For Peltier Demonstration – Tiwa Territory
February 7, 2022, Albuquerque A.I.M. Grassroots, Indigenous Rights Center, and The Red Nation host the demonstration Rise Up For Peltier in downtown Albuquerque in front of the Pete V. Domenici United States Courthouse.

Transit Equity Day of Action!
On February 5th, the Just Transition Alliance will join our comrades at the Labor Network for Sustainability (LNS) to celebrate the birthday of Rosa Parks with a Transit Equity Day of Action!
The COVID pandemic and recovery forever changed how communities function, work, socialize, and commute. It also showed very clearly how public transit is critical to the lives of millions across the country. Essential workers depend on and operate transit, small local businesses depend on transit, and historically marginalized communities depend on transit. Transit is a key component of economic recovery and environmental sustainability, and it is a path to equity for isolated and under-invested urban, suburban, and rural communities.
But for far too long, policymakers in Washington have prioritized highways and cars over public transit. This has devastating impacts not only for the climate crisis but for municipal budgets as well. New legislation introduced in January by Congressman Hank Johnson from the Atlanta area would change that. The bill, “Stronger Communities through Better Transit Act,” will boost high-quality transit across the country by creating a new federal grant program available to all transit agencies to increase service frequency and dependability, thereby reducing wait times, expanding hours, and adding new lines to underserved communities.
For decades, the federal government has subsidized the cost of shipping and aviation. Today, public transit is essential to workers and businesses – it is high time for Washington to treat it as such! While Congress has taken some limited steps forward in recent years, including the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, this bill would provide crucial funding that would fill budget shortfalls currently experienced by numerous transit agencies. These agencies, valuable public resources that are often among the largest employers in their areas, are powerful drivers of economic growth, jobs, and opportunity for tens of millions of people in the US, from small rural towns to major urban centers. Every dollar invested in transit offers a 5-to-1 return, and every $1 billion invested in public transit produces 50,000 jobs. As we have previously stated, investment in transit infrastructure presents opportunities for huge expansions in good union jobs, reduced dependence on personal vehicles dramatically improves quality of life in many neighborhoods, and fare-free transit services can increase equity for marginalized communities while actually reducing overall costs.
We also know that the climate crisis is here now, impacting our economy and nearly every aspect of our daily lives. Investing in public transit is a powerful way to help address the climate crisis on the scale required. It is a crucial part of the systemic changes that we need to build a new paradigm that improves the lives of workers and the environment. Everyone fighting for real solutions for climate justice agrees on the need for widely-available, clean, free public transit. Ambitious investment in transit by policymakers would be a win-win, for the economy and for the climate crisis.
We encourage all of our followers and allies to organize local events on February 5th. See the LNS website for organizing tools and register your action or view other actions on the campaign page.

Feminist Energy Justice: A FemGND Coalition Statement of Intent & Invitation
The fight to end the era of fossil fuels is ramping up, along with efforts to build towards more democratic, just, non-extractive energy sources and systems. Feminist climate justice advocates have a vital role to play – especially as policymakers seek answers to the question “what comes next?” after fossil fuels.
We need to build energy systems that are renewable, democratic and better serve the needs of communities, in the US and worldwide. We must offer repair for energy injustices that have harmed communities of color, low income communities, and communities of the Global South – as people have been denied equitable access to energy while also facing harms from the pollution, environmental degradation, and the wars and occupations of fossil fuel extraction and destructive energy sourcing. We know we must transition off of fossil fuels, and we must build our set of resources to guide and shape what comes after.
An end to fossil fuel development and use is a feminist priority, with serious implications for sexual and reproductive health and rights. From extraction to worsening climate change impacts, fossil fuel pollution is linked with infertility, fibroids and other reproductive diseases, serious illnesses in pregnancy, mental health harms and preterm birth, stillbirth and other adverse health outcomes. Communities of color and other marginalized communities that already face unjust inequities in health outcomes are hit the hardest.
In the energy infrastructure conversation in the US, a gendered and global justice framing is often missing. This leaves us open to the danger of reproducing and entrenching the harms of our current energy systems in an energy renewable era, especially as the threats rise of new resource wars and rights violations over lithium and other elements used in green technologies. We must not miss the opportunity to strengthen and accelerate more globally just, feminist approaches to the energy transition.
We must build on the existing frameworks and expertise that have been offered by Indigenous, Black, and disability justice movements globally, interlinking those and bridging their recommendations into US policy spaces.
As the global mobilization to end the era of fossil fuels accelerates, the Feminist Green New Deal Coalition will create space for feminist climate justice advocates to gather their core, actionable principles for just and feminist energy transitions – and to channel those recommendations into US climate policymaking.
Join us in winter 2023 and early 2024 for virtual exchange sessions to discuss and gather principles and recommendations on a just, feminist energy transition. In these sessions, we will weave together our analysis and experience responding to questions like:
- Why should feminists be committed to ending the fossil fuel era? Why is a just energy transition a feminist issue?
- Why is an intersectional analysis of race, gender, class and global justice critical for building a more just energy system? (production & use)
- What are the core tenets of a feminist, just and equitable energy system in the US? What are we building?
- How must our transition address repair for past harms and injustices in the current energy system?
The Feminist Green New Deal Coalition will gather the outputs of these discussions to inform a written report, campaign, briefing – to be determined – for distribution to US policymakers and movement partners.
To indicate your interest in this exploration and/or recommendations for additional folks to reach out to who may be interested in these conversations, please share here and stay tuned for more updates.
Justicia Energética Feminista: invitación y declaración de intenciones de la Coalición del FemGND y una invitación
La lucha para terminar con la era de los combustibles fósiles está cobrando más fuerza al igual que los esfuerzos dedicados a construir fuentes de energía y sistemas no extractivos justos y más democráticos. Las personas activistas de la justicia climática feminista juegan un papel vital, principalmente ocupando el rol de desarrolladores de políticas que buscan responder a la pregunta “¿qué sigue?” luego de los combustibles fósiles.
Necesitamos construir un sistema de energía que sea renovable, democrático y supla las necesidades de las comunidades, tanto en Estados Unidos como a nivel mundial. Debemos ofrecer reparaciones por las injusticias energéticas que sufren las comunidades de color, las de bajos ingresos y las del sur global. Entre estas injusticias a las que se enfrentan, además de que se les niega el acceso igualitario a la energía, se encuentran los daños a causa de la contaminación, la degradación ambiental y las guerras y ocupaciones por la extracción de los combustibles fósiles y las fuentes destructivas de energía. Debemos transicionar y dejar atrás los combustibles fósiles y construir un conjunto propio de recursos para guiar y darle forma a lo que viene después.
Es una prioridad feminista terminar con el desarrollo y el uso de los combustibles fósiles y, a su vez, evaluar las implicancias sustanciales que éstos tienen sobre los derechos sexuales y de salud reproductiva. Desde la extracción hasta el empeoramiento de los impactos del cambio climático, la contaminación de los combustibles fósiles se vincula con la infertilidad, fibromas y enfermedades de reproducción, graves enfermedades durante el embarazo, afecciones de salud mental, nacimientos prematuros, fetos muertos y otros efectos perjudiciales para la salud. Las comunidades de color y otras comunidades marginadas que ya enfrentan desigualdades injustas relacionadas con la salud son las más afectadas.
En la conversación en relación a la infraestructura energética en EE. UU., por lo general falta un marco de justicia global y con perspectiva de género. Esto nos deja expuestas al peligro de reproducir y fortificar los daños de los sistemas energéticos actuales en una era de energía renovable, especialmente en la medida en que aumentan las amenazas sobre nuevas guerras por los recursos y violaciones de derechos por el uso de litio y otros elementos que se utilizan para las tecnologías verdes. No podemos perder la oportunidad de fortalecer y acelerar el desarrollo de enfoques más justos y feministas a nivel mundial para lograr la transición energética.
Tenemos que construir sobre los marcos y las experiencias ya existentes brindadas por movimientos globales de justicia indígena, negra, y de discapacidad. Debemos vincularlos y acercar sus recomendaciones en los espacios de desarrollo de políticas de EE. UU.
A medida que la movilización global acelera el fin de la era de los combustibles fósiles, la Coalición Feminista del Green New Deal crea un espacio para las personas activistas de la justicia climática feminista con el objetivo de unificar los principios esenciales y de acción para que las transiciones energéticas sean feministas y justas, asi como también para comunicar esas recomendaciones en los espacios de desarrollo de políticas climáticas en EE. UU.
Acompáñanos en el invierno 2023 y principios de 2024 en sesiones virtuales de intercambio para debatir y unificar principios y recomendaciones sobre una transición energética justa y feminista. Durante estas sesiones, debatiremos con el objetivo de dilucidar en conjunto nuestro análisis y experiencia en respuesta a preguntas tales como:
- ¿Por qué las personas feministas deben comprometerse a terminar con la era de combustibles fósiles? ¿Por qué es una problemática feminista una transición energética justa?
- ¿Por qué un análisis interseccional de raza, género, clase, y justicia global es fundamental para construir un sistema energético más justo? (producción y uso)
- ¿Cuál es el dogma principal de un sistema energético igualitario, justo y feminista en EE. UU.? ¿Qué estamos construyendo?
- ¿De qué manera nuestra transición debe abordar las reparaciones por los daños e injusticias en el sistema de energía actual?
La Coalición Feminista del Green New Deal reunirá las contribuciones sobre estos debates para redactar un informe escrito, una campaña, un documento (a determinar) para su difusión entre las personas encargadas de desarrollar las políticas en EE. UU. y los movimientos asociados.
Para indicar su interés en esta elaboración o para recomendar la participación de colegas que puedan tener interés de participar y deseen comunicarse, haga clic aquí para compartir y manténgase al tanto de actualizaciones.

End of the year for the Alliance for Appalachia
Dear Alliance for Appalachia supporters,
As 2023 draws to a close, we at The Alliance for Appalachia look back at all we’ve accomplished this past year thanks to our supporters. From hosting multiple trainings around grassroots enforcement tactics to creating a seat at the table for our members to participate in critical decision-making processes about regional investments, your solidarity has made a real difference in the lives of the people we advocate for. This year we supported our members’ participation at various trainings, events, conferences, organizational partner visits, and funder meetings to build leadership and connection. We are working on building more coalitions here in Appalachia with an additional eye towards larger cohorts such as the Gulf South to Appalachia convening. We also hired a new Development Coordinator, Taysha DeVaughan, and will continue to evolve our coalition to meet the current moment with her support.
A4A member Joanne at the CJA member convening
We are very proud of our success but our work is far from over. Heading into 2024, we aim to take on even bigger tasks like reviving our federal working group, hosting part two of our community resilience network building webinar, and coordinating our next strategic planning gathering to build power in Appalachia. With your contribution before December 31st, you can provide crucial resources to energize our efforts in this important new year.
We greatly appreciate your role as a partner in this journey toward promoting a healthy, just Appalachia in communities impacted by destructive resource extraction. Your compassion and financial support allow us to center impacted voices from our communities. Please consider making an end-of-year gift today to carry this momentum into 2024.
Every gift counts when it comes to transforming lives. With your help, we can make the upcoming year one of growth, progress, and positive change for the people relying on The Alliance for Appalachia.

We are thrilled to work with so many partners representing communities most impacted by climate change. A big thank you to all everyone who joined us at our kick-off earlier this fall!
In November, we had the pleasure of hosting the MADE for Health Justice team from the de Beaumont Foundation, who is coordinating and collaborating with us on this opportunity. We are grateful for their partnership and look forward to continuing to work together in the future.
Nov. 2023 Newsletter
Dear friend,
As always near the end of the year, there’s a strong urge to get through the remaining weeks of 2023 as quickly as we can with little time for reflection or action. This season, I invite you to slow down from the end-of-year rush and keep your attention on the ongoing events in communities, near and far.
Below, you’ll learn important news about our changing government in Portland and an exciting new update for our health and climate initiative to create a community-driven data ecosystem.
At the same time, we also want to take a moment to hold space for the innocent lives of Palestinians and Israelis suffering an onslaught of horrific violence, death, and destruction. At CCC, we unequivocally condemn this violence and call for an immediate end to it through a ceasefire. We urge you to join us on this call.
We don’t take this stance as foreign policy experts, but as human beings committed to fighting against injustice, anytime, anywhere.
We encourage you to read our full statement as well as this blog post from the Othering & Belonging Institute to learn more.
This season, I’m remembering all that we have confronted and overcome. Generations of sacrifice, hard work, courage, and resilience have brought us together. Generations more will bring us forward. But only when we act.
I am grateful to be in this work with you.
Warm Regards,
Marcus C. Mundy, Executive Director
Read our full statement on gaza Important Updates for New Portland Gov., Launching Jan 1. 2025Last November, CCC worked to pass a historic ballot measure to transform the City of Portland’s form of government and elections. We are continuing our work to support a successful transition to a city government that serves Portlanders equitably. Key updates on the transition include:
The City Council approved a new organizational chart that shows how the city’s services will be organized under the voter-approved charter reform.
As part of the recent changes, a non-elected City Administrator will be appointed to oversee the management of the city's bureaus and services. The primary focus of the Mayor and City Council will now be on developing policy and addressing broader issues.
The new form of government also establishes six service areas, including Budget and Finance, City Operations, Community and Economic Development, Public Safety, Vibrant Communities, and Public Work
The City of Portland has released an annual report of their work to date where you can read more in depth about the key decisions that have been made thus far, from changes to the salaries of elected officials to the newly formed City Council districts. You can find which City Council district you are a part of at PortlandMaps.org.

Thank you to our partners for joining us at our October kickoff meeting!
At CCC, we understand that the tools we use to build systems are just as important as the systems themselves.
Today, we’re excited to announce the 19 community-based organizations that are joining CCC and our partners at the City and County in the Modernized Anti-Racist Data Ecosystems (MADE) for Health Justice initiative!
This new collaborative multi-year project is set to establish a health and climate data ecosystem that is built by and for our communities. We are thrilled to work with so many partners representing communities most impacted by climate change.

Learn more about MADE for Health JusticeCCC Supports a Ceasefire for Gaza
The Coalition of Communities of Color unequivocally condemns the violence, death, and destruction that has been visited upon innocent Israelis and Palestinians.
We also acknowledge the historical power imbalance that has been responsible for perpetuating the conditions of Palestinian suffering over the past several decades.
We may not be experts on these larger forces and history, but we are all humans, all with a moral code. Our mission, while local, urges us to speak out against the oppression, injustice, and horrific violence, including the indiscriminate bombing and siege of Gazan individuals, families, and children.
To that end, we wish to share the words of our colleagues at the Othering and Belonging Institute, helmed by the eminent scholar dr. john powell:
As Palestinians suffer under collective punishment and Gaza is made increasingly unrecognizable and uninhabitable, and Jews suffer from the attacks and worry about loved ones taken as pawns in a political fight, we as a society will also be unrecognizable to future generations if we do not stand up for Palestinian and Jewish humanity and our shared, unequivocal right to belong without othering.
We urge you to read the complete statement from the Othering and Belonging Institute here, which lays out the complex but always critical issues that will begin to direct decision-makers into better next steps.
We, along with millions of others, call for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza and release of all hostages, and it is incumbent on our congressional delegation to hear the voices of their constituents and join this call to end the violence.
This message is shared on behalf of the Coalition of Communities of Color and does not necessarily reflect the views of all of our members.
Calls to action:Read “We Belong to Each Other: A Call To End the Violence” from the Othering and Belonging Institute
Sign on to the letter from Jewish Voices for Peace Portland calling for a ceasefire
Contact your representatives in Congress and urge them to end the violence in Gaza now
Updated November 29: CCC initially neglected to call for the release of all hostages and have updated our statement to include this demand. We deeply regret this oversight and thank the community member who drew this to our attention.
