Vigil for political prisoners in the USA and public reading on indigenous struggles in the Americas

For 12 years, a monthly vigil has been taking place in Frankfurt am Main opposite the US Consulate General, organized by, among others, the Mumia Alliance Ffm, the BRD-Cuba Friendship Association and Tokata-LPSG RheinMain e. V. The vigil is seen as a sign of solidarity for political prisoners in the USA such as Mumia Abu-Jamal and Leonard Peltier, who has now been released into house arrest, and is directed against the death penalty, the terror of the ICE authorities, fatal police shots, Guantanamo or the USA's blockade policy towards Cuba. The vigil continues to be directed against the increasing imperialist tendencies of US foreign policy as well as the ongoing colonization policy against the indigenous population as part of US domestic policy.

On Saturday, October 17, 2026, if the weather is good, a public reading and a short report on the visit to Leonard Peltier will take place in connection with the vigil as part of the 18th reading and lecture tour "Indigenous Struggles in the Americas - A Life for Freedom". Bring folding chairs.

Location: Giessener Str. 30, opposite the US Consulate General, Frankfurt am Main
Date: Saturday, October 17th, 2026 6 - 7 p.m
