Tristan Anderson addresses the General Assembly at the start of it. This will be his first time visiting Occupy Oakland.
Beginning next week, a Jerusalem Civil Court will convene regarding the case of Tristan Anderson: an International Solidarity Activist from Oakland, California, wounded in March 2009 when he was shot in the head by Israeli Border Police in Ni’lin, Palestine.
Tristan was shot with an experimental weapon—a High Velocity Tear Gas Grenade—designed to travel 300 meters and hit with enough force to break through barricades. Tristan was shot directly in the head from about 50 meters. He survived the attack on his life, but has been left paralyzed on one side of his body and with significant damage to his brain.
Eric Drooker, graphic artist, activist, musician, etc. is doing a slideshow and musical performance after the General Assembly. His slideshow covers his trip to Palestine doing solidarity work, his subversive artwork, and his work on the film Howl among other topics.

Meeting to set the agenda for Sunday’s General Assembly
Bring readings of poetry you want others to hear, or share your own poetry.
“At the dances I was one of the most untiring and gayest. One evening a cousin of Sasha, a young boy, took me aside. With a grave face, as if he were about to announce the death of a dear comrade, he whispered to me that it did not behoove an agitator to dance. Certainly not with such reckless abandon, anyway. It was undignified for one who was on the way to become a force in the anarchist movement. My frivolity would only hurt the Cause.
I grew furious at the impudent interference of the boy. I told him to mind his own business. I was tired of having the Cause constantly thrown into my face. I did not believe that a Cause which stood for a beautiful ideal, for anarchism, for release and freedom from convention and prejudice, should demand the denial of life and joy. I insisted that our Cause could not expect me to become a nun and that the movement would not be turned into a cloister. If it meant that, I did not want it. “I want freedom, the right to self-expression, everybody’s right to beautiful, radiant things.” Anarchism meant that to me, and I would live it in spite of the whole world — prisons, persecution, everything. Yes, even in spite of the condemnation of my own closest comrades I would live my beautiful ideal.”
-Emma Goldman
