Being a protest medic means marshaling, attention to your surroundings, and dedication to the safety of everyone in our community.

The worst injuries we want to treat are scrapes, strains, and heat injuries, but we can only control ourselves.
We always recommend teaching de-escalation to protest attendees to avoid major injuries. But we also recommend that medics carry IFAKs.

This is the point where we combine street medicine with tactical medicine. Of course we always hope for a peaceful protest environment....

For those of you who have asked how to donate, for the next protest, we would appreciate donations of instant ice packs. Send us a DM if you would like to help support our cause!

The primary treatments we found ourselves giving during #NoKings were for heat injuries...which are super easy to treat when you catch it in time. Medic tents should be stocked full of water and ice!

What should you bring with you to a protest? I suppose that depends on how big the crowd will be and how involved you think opposition will be! At minimum, it is advised to ensure that you have proper protection for your skin.

Becoming a protest medic is a form of deep, empathic mutual aid. Because of our great organization with our medic coalition, we were able to successfully treat and prevent multiple heat injuries this weekend at the #NoKings protest and de-escalate situations with counterprotestors! #safety #protests
