Philly Street Medic Support
Hello,
First a note/disclaimer. To begin with I’m going to be careful to avoid doxing myself, so there is information I will be omitting to that end. If you would like me to confirm any information here further, please dm me and we can discuss. Additionally, any specific persons associated with the information I’m about to share have explicitly allowed me to make this post on their behalf. Again, I am willing to prove or discuss this in dms.
Now for the main post.
This is somewhat short notice in the lead up to the protests this Saturday, June 14th, but The Philly street medics are looking to raise funds for supplies for both Saturday’s event, and future events. Based on estimate from local and national organizers the local medic team will have their work cut out for them. Any support folks can provide would be a huge help. We have attempted to post this on other sites, but we (somewhat understandably) get hit by automod filters.
I am providing the link to the medic orgs website, as well as the direct donation link.
Again, I will do my best to answer any questions, and I do have additional info to provide privately for additional verification.
Little more context: Philly has kind of become the counter protest hub on the east coast for the military parade in DC. I recently posted a comment about this if you check my profile. Anyway, we are expecting huge numbers in the city. Our medic team is going to have a lot of work on their hands, and is incredibly short on supplies. Any help you can provide, or even just sharing the link among your affinity groups would be awesome. If you want any further verification of this information please dm me. I want to be careful not to dox myself or any of my local organizers that didn’t already agree to put their name on stuff.
Best of luck and all my love to everyone here in the US. As Arkhive says in the post she linked: stay safe and angry
