UConn SSDP had a really cool (and under-reported) pre-conference to SSDP’s Northeast Regional Conference in April.
Several of “the usual suspects,” including myself, spoke. There’s no doubt, though, that Eric Sterling stole the show. I have seen him speak 10+ times, and he is one of the best and most engaging public speakers I have ever been exposed to. Fortunately my camera was rolling:

I was honored to be invited to speak at a very small panel at the largest and most prestigious gathering of experts in the fields of drugs and drug policy – the drug policy alliance biennial conference.

So, I’m definitely not an advocate of government health care (see my last post proposing a republican vision of health care), but I really definitely can’t stand Joe Lieberman. Some activists (and friends of mine) from UConn staged a really sweet sit-in, unto getting arrested and simultaneously singing.
This is one of the best sit-in videos this year.
