DESCRIPTION:Let’s create a new kind of ANARCHIST GENERAL ASSEMBLY!\n \n \nSaturday 
 July 16th\n12 – 5pm, BBQ to follow\n6501 Telegraph Ave. (Near Ashby 
 BART)\nOakland, CA\n \n~~~\n \nThe first in an experimental series of 
 regional anarchist general assemblies will be held in Oakland on July 16th, 
 2011.\n \nThe purpose of this assembly is to strengthen ties within the Bay 
 Area's anarchist community by providing a regularly occurring event to 
 share projects we’re working on, discuss the topics we are organizing 
 around, promote collaboration and solidarity between different groups, 
 spark new initiatives and build our collective capacity as a social 
 antagonist force. The assembly will not be a decision-making body; it will 
 not create platforms or manifestos.\n \n~~~\n \nANARCHIST GENERAL ASSEMBLY*

 will be a safer space; people who exhibit oppressive behavior will be asked 
 to leave.\n~~~\n \nUA in the Bay is scheduling the day’s events and 
 coordinating logistics for this first assembly. The structure we’ve come 
 up with is not rigid and participants will be encouraged to give feedback 
 and help organize future assemblies. We're doin our best, striving to be 
 transparent and accountable in the way we set up this event, and rolling 
 with the punches as they come...  :)\n
