Court Reminder 7.26
Three of the Asheville Eleven will have court this Friday, July 30th. If you would like to come out to support these wonderful individuals, please come to the Buncombe County Court House at 9am. Be sure to wear appropriate attire and have a compliant attitude while in the courtroom and courthouse. (This is in the best interests of those accused.) //
First we would like to say thank you to everyone who has been able to help directly as well as to those of you that are making gracious attempts. We really can’t say thank you enough. Let us continue help each other to help the Asheville Eleven in anyway we are able.
This legal battle has only barely begun and it is be a lengthly and straining process for these fine folks. While solidarity has been immensely shown over the last few months, funds are still desperately needed. Those coordinating support for the 11 are actively attempting to help those of the eleven that still lack proper representation. Please continue to help us Defend The Asheville Eleven by donating to their legal defense fund. We can help you host any sort of benefit, be it a fundraiser, show, movie screening or any other kind of event that may be able to raise awareness or funds. Just message us at howdotheywork@gmail.com. We are currently able to send informational tri-folds, posters, buttons and more. It would also help if you are able to sign up for a monthly donation tithe. If you have any questions about this of have any other related questions please e-mail us.
Thank all for your continued support.

Court Update 7.18
On Friday the 16th eight of the eleven had a court appearance. They were all given continuances and have a new court date set for Sept. 30th. The rest of the eleven will appear in court on July 30th. They are also expected to receive a continuance until Sept. 30th.
So far, all of the eleven’s charges have remained in District Court. This will only be the case for a short time longer. In the state of North Carolina, all felony charges are handled by the Superior Court on a state level. Sometime in the next few months, the eleven’s charges will be reviewed by a Superior Court Jury. This jury is called a “grand jury” but is NOT the same as a grand jury that defendants would be called to testify. This jury will be a grouping of people from the state of North Carolina who will review the case and make a recommendation on which of the eleven’s felony charges will be brought to the state superior court.
We will keep you updated on any changes in court dates, or venues. Thanks for all your continued support.
Court Tomorrow: 7.16
If you’re planning on coming out to support the members of the eleven that have court tomorrow please come to the Buncombe County Court House at 9am.
Court probably won’t get going until about 9:30. It should be a fairly short preceding, but be prepared to sit for an hour or two. Be sure to wear appropriate attire and have a respectful attitude while in the courtroom and courthouse.
Thanks!
Half Way There: July 7
As the next court dates for the 11 approach we have come half way to our immediate fundraising goal. Through your generous donations and fundraisers we have managed to raise $2,500 towards the current $5,000 needed. We only have until July 16th to raise the other $2,500. If we don’t one, or more of the 11 risk losing their legal representation. You can make donations through our paypal or directly to the fund. Check out the “donations” page for more info.
The next court dates will be on July 16th for the majority of the 11, and July 30th for the rest. These are preliminary hearings, but still important in the overall defense of the 11. The judge and the people of Asheville need to see that there are those willing to stand in support of the accused. So, please come down to the court house and show your solidarity. Make sure you come dressed and act appropriately for a court proceeding.
Defend the Asheville Eleven! Support the accused!
