bring your raucous ramblings, stream of consciousness, sleep conscious musings for a night of open floor, radical
rambling poetry.
fundraiser for POD (points of distribution) syringe exchange harm reduction group:
Points of Distribution is an organization that provides HIV prevention
and other services to hard-to-reach drug users and their friends and
family in Oakland and San Francisco. The organization is a volunteer-run
coop based the principles of workplace democracy and harm reduction.
POD currently provides street-outreach based syringe provision primarily
to homeless folks in both San Francisco and Oakland. In the last year
we provided about a quarter of a million syringes and ancillary services
through about 3800 unique client contacts. Funding was recently cut and
they desperately need fundraising to stay running.
