DESCRIPTION:   On Sunday, April 1st, in solidarity with the Western Regional Advocacy 
 Project’s “We Won’t Get Fooled Again” National Day of Action for 
 the rights of the un-housed, Occupy SF working groups & affinity groups are 
 liberating a vacant building and converting it into a social center, 
 shelter and food bank for the people. We have already demonstrated, for 82 
 days, what is possible when a space is liberated and reclaimed. The 
 encampments at 101 Market St and Justin Herman \ Bradley Manning Plaza were 
 successful experiments in non-hierarchical organizing where resources were 
 shared in a gift economy and collective decisions made through consensus, 
 while food, shelter and medical care were provided to the greater 
 community.\n\n   This action on Sunday is not a temporary protest, but a 
 permanent occupation intended to establish a social center.  We will 
 transform this vacant building into a productive and vibrant space, just as 
 we did in the plaza occupation, and we wish others to take similar actions 
 and more.\n\n   Wealth inequality is increasing, the environment is being 
 destroyed,  the police state and drug war are devastating our communities 
 and social movements, while our foreign wars enrich the 1% at the expense 
 of our troops and innocent civilians.  In San Francisco alone, thousands 
 sleep on the street while thousands of houses and apartments lay empty.  
 From Chapel Hill to Seattle, from New York to Oakland, people are rising up 
 to directly change the social and economic system by liberating vacant 
 buildings and reclaiming them for the people.\n\n  We are taking this 
 action to bring immediate relief and housing to homeless youth in our 
 community, and to provide a space for assembling, sharing food and healing 
 for all people.\n\n   Join us on April 1st for this autonomous action in 
 solidarity with WRAP’s National Day of Action. The rally and march for 
 the move-in begins at 4pm at Union Square. “We Won’t Get Fooled 
 Again” street theatre and performances begin at 2pm at Union Square.\n\n
