Showing Original Post only (View all)Occupy San Francisco Livestream~Building Occupation [View all]
http://occupywallst.org/article/occupy-san-francisco-creates-social-center-vacant-/In another sign of the Occupy movement's diversifying tactics and growing spring momentum, yesterday Occupy San Francisco liberated a vacant building owned by the Archdiocese of San Francisco and announced plans to establish a permanent occupation -- including a social center, shelter, and food bank -- on the site. The April 1st action began with a lively march from Union Square before arriving at the building just before 6pm. When they arrived, Occupiers who had already secured the building greeted the marchers with open doors.
The two-story building, located at 888 Turk St., soon filled with hundreds of exuberant Occupiers. Preliminary reports indicate that the Archdiocese has asked police not to take any action until the morning. However, the Occupiers are requesting help and numbers in case of any eviction attempt. If you are in the Bay Area and are able, please get down to the San Francisco Commune as soon as possible!

I don't think this is going to end well. Why do we keep shooting ourselves in the foot?

Sorry for being cynical, but I believe this is about visibility for OWS, not helping the poor.

OWS would be much more successful in getting the public to side with them...

Tell that to those that expressed their *concern* when I said the same thing.
