Would you like to become a street medic for progressive political demonstrations? Would you like to learn basic skills that would be useful for protests, outdoor adventures and community first aid? Come to the street medic training in Boston in February, 2004!
Training includes basic first aid, injury prevention, treatment for pepper spray and tear gas, management of injuries from other weapons (rubber bullets, batons, etc.), tools to help provide emotional support during stressful situations, and much much more.
No previous medical or demonstration experience is necessary. The training is specifically designed to train street medics, who provide first aid and support during demonstrations and direct actions. However, the information is useful for anyone who might deliver first aid in the community or who might encounter police oppression and brutality.
February 6 - 8, 2004 * Boston, MA * Sliding Scale Fee
NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY
We have a sliding scale fee from $0 to $100, and we welcome barter in place of money. We do not want financial restrictions to keep anyone from participating. We anticipate that our cost per trainee will be $30 - 40, and we hope that donations from participants will cover our costs. We can help with housing for anyone coming from out of town. We hope to be able to provide child care during the workshop.
