POPSPRN in ‘World of Pain’… Videos Click om source for videos. As a chronic pain patient, this is very important to me. Untreated pain can be far worse then the medicines currently available and vilified in the media. It is a human right to be treated for pain compassionately and effectively.

POPSUCSC Police Officer Brian Hughes - excessive force? This officer has a long record of infiltrating peaceful organizations and protests. What happened at UCSC was a travesty. The Violence was unnecessary. 200 students peacefully marching, some dressed as butterflies, do not warrant the the violence used by the police. They would have been better to let them march. What would have happened? Nothing violent...

POPSHomeless portrayed in negative light This is a letter to the editor in Santa Cruz, after a small group of Homeless had a protest against the nighttime sleeping ban.

Officials also feared there could be up to 985 homeless men without a day program cycled through the city each year." A comment that caught my interest. "I can't believe that AP has closed down the Mission shelter. It was a place for the homeless population to sleep, out of the cold and the rain, and they are JUST HOUSING THE HOMELESS PEOPLE WHO ARE ALREADY AROUND!
