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 .. Most recently (as of 1am Pacific time), police had surrounded the building with barricades to prevent supplies from getting inside. Occupiers have announced they will serve breakfast at 9am and are inviting everyone to join them! Local media described the action as a ¨well-organized takeover.¨ Speaking to local press, a representative of Occupy SF stated, “There is no reason why any building should be vacant when people have no housing. We ask that the archdiocese do the right thing and allow these services in these buildings.” In part directing their message at Church officials, Occupy SF hung a large banner quoting from the Bible: “Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses.”
