This weekend fathers across the U.S. will be celebrated, spending time
with their loved ones and enjoying time with their children.
But for me, Father's Day is an empty day.
My father is Leonard Peltier, a prominent member of the American Indian Movement (AIM). His name is synonymous with the struggle for Native rights and he has been behind bars for over 40 years—my whole life.
With my father's health failing, it would mean everything to me if he'd get to spend a little of his life with me—even a week with him would be incredible.
Help bring my father home: Tell President Obama to grant Leonard Peltier clemency.
