Sunday, May 25th is a day of medical training, preparing attendees to be affinity group medics. Highly trained street medics are great to have around, but they might not always be in proximity to your affinity group. This is where the affinity group (AG) medic comes into play. AG medics are the first line of defense; every affinity group should have one! AG medics operate not just among groups, but as a part of them, and as such have the unique role of being familiar with those whom they will most likely be called to treat. Attendees will be taught how to think on their feet and improvise while dealing with basic first aid issues, as well as preventative treatment and warning signs. Again, we will feed you!

Events held at Encuentro5, 33 Harrison Ave in Chinatown, 5th floor. Beginning at 10AM both days and potentially running till we get kicked out at 9PM. We will feed you! Out-of-towners, we will house you! See contact info at bottom of correspondence.

Additionally, because Boston ABC is concerned about the large number of comrades that will surely be swept up by the police in the Twin Cities [5,000 arrests have been threatened against 'anarchists and knuckleheads'], we ask nicely that people bring a sliding scale donation of $5-10+ to go toward the Anarchist Black Cross Network’s RNC Legal Defense Fund [to defend the comrades, not the Republicans].

Housing is available for out-of-towners. Email bostonabc@riseup.net for housing requests and other inquiries.
