Street Medic Resources

The work of street medics has a deep lineage in anti-oppressive struggles.

Here are a couple of resources to help support anyone that is going to protests. Even if you are not a medical professional, you can learn from these resources about what you need to think about as you go into the streets.

Protesting is a critical part of any true change. We need to be smart about it and take care of ourselves.
