The No Pepper Spray website - Non-violent Headwaters Forest protesters had pepper spray soaked Q-tips put into their eyes by Humboldt County law enforcement in 1997. Shocking police videos drew international outrage when they were broadcast by network TV. The activists sued in federal court for violation of their 4th Amendment rights by excessive force, and got a hung jury in their 1998 trial in San Francisco federal court. Instead of granting a new trial, the judge threw the case out. The activists appealed, and the 9th Circuit overturned the trial judge and granted a new trial. Defendants appealed and it went all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which upheld the activists' right to a new trial. At this point the Bari/Cherney legal team took over representation of the Pepper Spray plaintiffs. They got the original judge removed from the case for the appearance of bias, and took the case to trial twice more, finally winning a unanimous jury verdict in April 2005.

The Headwaters Action Video Collective mission is to use video, film, photography and music to raise consciousness about environmental and social justice issues. They are based in Humboldt County, CA, and have produced several outstanding short videos covering the struggle for the ancient Headwaters Forest. Their "LUNA - The Stafford Giant Tree-Sit" covers the early part of Julia Butterfly's two-year tree-sit. Fire in the Eyes covers the infamous sheriff's department use of pepper spray to torture nonviolent, locked-down demonstrators. HAVC did  extensive work on "Showdown in Seattle - 5 days that shock the WTO" and  "Breaking the Bank - A16" covering the World Bank protests in Washington DC April 16, 2000. Their films are great organizing tools. (posted 5/16/00)
