Grant a Presidential Pardon for Leonard Peltier
Leonard Peltier has been incarcerated since 1977 for his involvement in the Wounded Knee incident in 1973. He was convicted on aiding and abetting, not murder of two FBI agents in a shoddy trial. He admitted to being involved but he did not kill the agents.
President Biden, you can grant clemency or a full pardon to Leonard Peltier so he can be released after serving 44 years.

Why is this important?
On the heels of the Rittenhouse verdict, your office sent out a message that we have to fix the justice system in our United States.
Here is a concrete way you can send a clear message - free Leonard Peltier #freeleonardpeltier. He has applied for clemency before. Given the justice system in South Dakota, it is unlikely his case for parole will be granted - there is just too much of a two-tier justice system there.
I plead a petition to you, President Biden, as the head of our government. I am sharing this petition on MoveOn.org. It is time to release Mr. Peltier.
Thank you in advance.
