1. Statement of Solidarity

Dear Friends,

Fondest greetings and solidarity from the Asheville, North Carolina General Assembly. We've unanimously consented to adopt the New York City General Assembly''s declaration. We look forward to coordinating with your working groups about tactics that have been successful and our mutual triumphs.
The dramatic occupation of the 99% at Liberty Plaza is an inspiration to not only us but cities all over the world. We stand with you during this American Autumn and are laying the foundation of a network of resistance. Dismantling the most powerful and wealthiest institutions in history will be no easy task. If ever we had a defining moment, it is this one.

Stand strong,
Asheville General Assembly

Occupy Asheville, Occupy Everything
