Occupy Asheville General Assembly

Public Group active 10 months, 2 weeks ago ago

This is where it all happens!

Occupy Asheville seeks to broaden awareness of the problems that exist in Asheville, the United States, and the world, and generate peaceful solutions to those problems. Come be a part of the solution! As usual, all people are welcome at the General Assembly.

General Assembly currently meets in Pritchard Park on Wednesdays at 6pm and on Saturdays at 3pm. Meeting times and locations may change with circumstances, so please check the event calendar frequently for updates. See you there!

    The general assembly is the institution of direct, horizontal, democracy in Occupy Asheville, and consequently stands in resistance to authoritarianism in OA, which has tended to present itself in the CC.
