DESCRIPTION:2nd Bay Area Anarchist General Assembly! \n\nThis is the second of a series 
 of regional anarchist general assemblies in the bay area. It will be held 
 in Oakland, CA on November 6th. The goal of this assembly is to serve the 
 needs of anarchist individuals and projects across the bay area 
 by:\n\n-sharing tactics and knowledge among different struggles/projects in 
 order to build a more intelligent, effective, cohesive 
 movement;\n\n-attempting to increase capacity for existing 
 groups;\n\n-strengthen organizational coordination between groups;\n\n-in 
 the process, hopefully generate new projects.\n\nThe assembly will 
 complement the work of the Anarchist Salon, Anarchist Study Group, and 
 other spaces where anti-authoritarians meet. It will have an active 
 project, organizing and action related focus.\n\nThe assembly will not be a 
 decision-making body; it will not create platforms or 
 manifestos.\n\n***\n\nStructure:\n\n-Presentations (1 hr): 15 minute 
 presentations by anarchist groups about the current work they are doing. 
 (Presentations undecided at this time; please send proposals before October 
 9th!)\n\n -A short break\n\n-Discussions (2.5 hrs): Facilitated breakout 
 discussions that may center on a single group or project, or a discussion 
 involving multiple groups whose work falls under a similar theme or topic.  
 (Topics undecided at this time; please send proposals before October 
 9th!)\n\n-Potluck BBQ – bring some food for everyone to share! There will 
 be some food provided. This time is largely social time.\n\n***\n\n We're 
 asking anyone who is in agreement with the following basic anarchist 
 principles to attend:\n\n- A rejection of all forms of hierarchy, including 
 capitalism, patriarchy, white supremacy, heterosexism, and party based 
 politics.\n\n- Support for organizing on a non-hierarchical basis that 
 promotes autonomy, solidarity, and the agency of those most affected by 
 each decision.\n\n- Working actively to build relationships and 
 institutions that are based on equality, self-determination, and 
 sustainability.\n\n!The assembly will be a safer space, people who exhibit 
 oppressive behavior will be asked to leave!\n\n***\n\nThe structure we’ve 
 come up with is not rigid and participants will be encouraged to give 
 feedback and help organize future assemblies. We strive to be transparent 
 and accountable in the way we set up this event.\n\nWe want this assembly 
 to directly benefit anarchist individuals and groups in the region. We want 
 to hear your thoughts, suggestions, wild ideas, critiques, questions, or 
 concerns. Send us an email at\nUAINTHEBAY(at)GMAIL.COM \nto start a 
 dialogue.\n\nIn solidarity,\nUA in the Bay\n
