I do not consider this an application for acceptance to the CC, rather a what do you do what have you done piece. as stated before all affinity groups, working groups & caucuses will be admitted to the CC.

Most meet as needed through communication Phone, internet and in person sometimes on a daily basis. Right now at the houses of the affinity groups members but will hold public meetings once a week at firestorm or other public free space.

What kinds of proposals would your group submit to the Coordinating Council that need consensus from Occupy Asheville? The printing of propaganda, funding for things we could not afford ourselves, calls to action, position statements. Promoting an open accessible GA/CC process that allows input from all.

I expand the definition to include human versus other human groups also. Speciesism is the assigning of different values or rights to beings on the basis of their species membership. The term was created by British psychologist Richard D. Ryder in 1973 to denote a prejudice against non-humans based on physical differences that are given moral value[1] “I use the word ‘speciesism’,” he wrote in 1975, “to describe the widespread discrimination that is practised by man against other species … Speciesism is discrimination, and like all discrimination it overlooks or underestimates the similarities between the discriminator and those discriminated against.”[2]
