On the 20th of January, 2012, The Last Friday Comedy Club, at the Maple Hotel, 74 Lr. Gardiner St. Dublin, will be held as a benefit night for the campaign to have Leonard Peltier released.

On Feb 6, 2012, there will be worldwide demonstrations held outside US embassies, to highlight the criminal incarceration of this Native American hero by the racist, imperialist, US state. He has now been in jail for 36 years, for helping to defend his people from Anglo-Saxon attack. No release date has been given. This benefit night will be for the purpose of bringing a speaker from Leonard's reservation, to address the demonstration at the US embassy in Dublin, and to speak at other venues around Ireland. We ask people of good will to do their best to support this worthy cause. We will confirm the comedians for the night after Christmas. Beirígí bua agus beannacht.
