§Future Visions from an Occupied Bank
![]() 75river-blocks-scpd.jpg Last night we took the Coast Commercial Bank (now owned by Wells Fargo, and three years vacant) at 75 River St. in Santa Cruz, and are establishing it as a community center. These are inspiring and exciting times! We’ve thus far held several organizational assemblies, have set up a media and communications center, sleeping quarters, a medical station, a library, and a stocked kitchen. All are welcome! Come join us and share your visions. We very much look forward to removing all barricades, and have begun to do so as we become more comfortable holding this space… But we are under immediate threat of police eviction. Support and solidarity from the Occupy international movement has kept us strong. Please continue to post, share, retweet, and spread the word to support the 75River community space!

Since when is it YOUR electricity?????
When you break into someone's PRIVATE PROPERTY, and the lights are still on it's NOT YOUR electricity!!! Last time I checked, it's YOUR electricity when YOU have to PAY FOR the PG&E bill!!!!

if you feel taking private property is wrong, then give yours back to the native americans who had it taken from them.

Private property? It is owned by a subsidiary of WELLS FARGO. The very same Wells Fargo that foreclosed on thousands and thousands of homes in California, and even more across the country. Despite what capitalism has apparently convinced you of, Wells Fargo is not a person.

Quoting (a)
"Private property? It is owned by a subsidiary of WELLS FARGO. The very same Wells Fargo that foreclosed on thousands and thousands of homes in California, and even more across the country. Despite what capitalism has apparently convinced you of, Wells Fargo is not a person.' (a), please reread your statement and try to find where you argument falls apart even before you start. | |||||||||||||||
