Training Bootcamp: Action Care

From the Black Lives Matter uprisings to Minnesota’s “Day of Truth and Freedom” to the No Kings protests and more, large-scale mobilizations require many people with specific skills working in coordination to succeed.

If you’ve ever been curious how events like these work and want to learn the skills involved, join Free DC and partners for a Skill Training Bootcamp the week of November 16-20. Over five consecutive nights we’ll offer trainings on key skills like How to Mobilize, Action Comms, Action Safety, Sounds + Visuals, and Action Care.

On Friday, November 20, Action Care will teach you how to respond to basic medical scenarios at actions. We will talk about how to keep yourself and others safe, hydrated, and prepared. This training will include how to put together an action bag, how to assess the most common medical emergencies, and how to know when to seek a medical provider. This is not a full street medic training, but is great for Carebears or others interested in keeping each other safe at actions.

This event will be held in the 20009 zip code. Location details will be provided via email after registration.
