The Depavers (scroll down), was a Plaintiff in the pepper-spray-by-Q-tip civil rights lawsuit in San Francisco federal court. The third trial was victorious for the rights of all protesters in April 2005.
Depaver Jan has released "Humane D.A." in support of Humboldt County District Attorney Paul Gallegos's famous lawsuit against timber-corporation fraud. It was recorded live at the Mateel Community Center, Redway, in southern Humboldt County, Aug. 22, 2003, at the benefit for the pro-lawsuit support group Alliance for Ethical Business. Also just added: "Daughter Spring," the duet between a father and a protester (Depaver Jan and his daughter Spring) who was tortured by law enforcement: they applied pepper spray in the eyes with Q-tips on locked-down teenagers.
