Street Medic Training in Pittsburgh
Primary tabs
August 8,9,10th -- Street Medic Training in Pittsburgh. This training is for anyone wishing to learn and share some skills. Three very experienced medics are coming from out of town for this one!
In order to prepare for upcoming actions in Miami against the FTAA, future actions, and to build skills amongst the activist community, we are organizing a street medic training. The training is being done by 3 long-time medics with a wide range of experience. This 20+ hour training will be held at Project 1877(www.1877.org) in Pittsburgh on the 9th and 10th during the day and at a location tbd on the Friday the 8th. The cost is $10-$20 on a sliding scale to cover travel costs for the trainer, and the 20 hours of their time. This is a great opportunity to have trained medics on hand for local actions. You can never be too prepared!
