United We Can Defend Democracy!
We put together IFAKs for protests. Our group specializes in de-escalation training, environment awareness training, & life-saving street medicine awareness. One of our certified EMTs shares information about how to respond to med emergencies & get people to safety.
#streetmedicine #safety #protest
