BBQ Goal: to bring individuals and groups together socially to build connections, understanding, and cooperation; to stabilize and energize the movement.
Location: Prospect Park to the left of the Bandshell, look for the pink and black balloons. http://
Motivation:
Large assemblies have difficulties acting as decision making bodies, but enable large numbers to come together and cooperate. These decision making challenges have contributed in fragmenting of the large assemblies. By removing the decision making process and bringing together working groups the assembly can continue to serve as a space for people to plug into projects and coordinate on projects.
Basic Principles of the Open Assembly:
-This is not a space to try to control how other people and groups plan to participate or how their actions should take place.
-This is not a forum for politicians and political parties.
-Project details and information shared should be done so with the expectation that someone from law enforcement is present (of course, we hope they will not be).
