(Postponed) Street Medic 101: An Intro to Protesting Basics
March 12, 2021 @ 2:30 pm–4:30 pm EST
∗ Due to unforeseen circumstances, this event has been postponed. Please keep an eye on this event page for more updates. Thanks so much for your understanding and we can’t wait to bring you this awesome event at a later date <3
Join the Montreal Street Medic Collective (MSMC) for our very first training workshop!
As protests against various injustices are on the rise in Canada and around the globe, we thought it was important to take a moment to talk about how our community can protest safely in a time of growing police aggression towards protesters. This workshop will cover some first-aid and protester safety basics. It will also be an opportunity to learn more about the collective.
This workshop will be facilitated by Andrea. Andrea is a Latinx queer with over 15 years of experience in community organizing Tio’tia:ke. She is a nurse and director of health services at Head & Hands and a community worker at Cactus SIS. She is passionate about harm reduction, decolonization, anti-authoritarianism, and queer family.
The MSMC is a new collective that aims to provide first-aid training and first-aid support at various demonstrations for Black, Indigenous and other communities who have been disproportionately targeted by police. Our services are free and open to the public. For anyone interested in volunteering with MSMC please email mstreetmediccollective@gma
