Recording and Resources from The Prepared Protester: Herbs and First Aid Tips for Before, During & After Protests
Workshop with Elokin Orton-Cheung, Samwise Raridon, and Stascha Stahl of the Bay Area Herbal Response Team
Fundraiser for the Oakland Bail Fund and People’s Community Medics. Broadcast live on June 6, 2020.
Description: Join BAHRT herbalists for a workshop on basic tools for protest care, including herbs for basic first aid and wellbeing. We’ll review topics from responding to tear gas and other police weapons to supporting yourself and community in aftercare, and we’ll end with a Q&A. This training is open to all seeking to gain basic protest preparedness skills. No herbalism/healthcare background needed to join. While you will gain important basic skills, this is not a comprehensive street medic training.
While this workshop has already happened, you are still warmly invited to contribute a $5-$30 suggested donation for the video below. All funds raised go directly to the People's Breakfast Oakland Bail Fund and People’s Community Medics. Donate directly to BAHRT via PayPay (to bayareahrt@gmail.com - friends and family, please!) or Venmo (to BAHRT member Emiliano Lemus, @emilianolemus)
