Here's some information about the village that Tristan Anderson was trying to help save when he was shot in the head by Israeli occupation forces...

"Friends of a Bay Area activist who was critically injured while demonstrating in a village on the West Bank have organized their own demonstration in downtown San Francisco on Monday as a show of solidarity.
Friends of Tristan Anderson, former tree-sitter at the University of California at Berkeley, and supporters of Palestine will gather at 4 p.m. Monday outside the Israeli Consulate at 456 Montgomery St. in San Francisco, said Kate Raphael, a fellow activist and friend of Anderson's.
'Our intent is to give people a chance to talk about Tristan, to focus on the people who have been killed from that village and honor the resistance that continues,' Raphael said."
