A Benefit for Tristan Anderson
Friday, July 10th 7PM

674-A 23rd. St Oakland, CA
$5–25 sliding scale
A benefit for our fearless friend and comrade, Tristan Anderson, who is still in the hospital in serious condition after being shot in the face by the Israeli Defense Forces in March. Tristan is one of the many activists who appear in the movie discussing issues of social justice and movement building strategy. That he has since taken such a blow in the fight against injustice underscores the serious need for a strong movement. Come and support a comrade who needs our love and solidarity. All proceeds will go directly to aid Tristan’s medical and life needs. Food, drinks, music and room for discussion will all be provided.

Leonard Peltier is a political prisoner, an indigenous resistance activist in jail for over 30 years for struggling for freedom and self-determination. His conviction was based on what many say was fabricated and suppressed evidence. A parole hearing—the first in years—is scheduled for July 28th; this benefit is being held to re-awaken awareness of Leonard’s ongoing struggles in advance of this hearing. All proceeds beyond expenses will go directly to assist Leonard in his legal and other expenses, and—hopefully—to help him resettle if and when he is released.
