DESCRIPTION:FREE MEDICS TRAINING FOR THE PEOPLE\n\nThis project was partially inspired 
 by the revelations of an Oakland Paramedic investigator who blew the 
 whistle on the medical mistreatment of Oscar Grant at the Fruitvale BART 
 station.\n\nOscar, like many victims of police violence, did not receive 
 proper medical treatment after he was shot by BART police. The 911 
 responders did not adequately cover the exit wound from the bullet that 
 punctured Oscar's back and he suffered for over 4 hours before succumbing 
 to his injuries.  Perhaps Oscar’s life could have been saved if 
 paramedics had properly cared for the bleeding trauma he experienced. . . 
 we will never know.\n\nUnfortunately, this is a common story in low-income 
 and communities of color--calling 911 does not guarantee an ambulance nor 
 adequate health care when paramedics arrive. Because of this inequality, we 
 have lost numerous loved ones unnecessarily.  We know that 911 is a joke 
 (as the rap group Public Enemy said so long ago) and that our people have 
 been suffering from a lack of proper medical treatment.\n\nThe People’s 
 Community Medics is launching this project to work with the larger 
 community in taking what's most important into our hands – matters of our 
 health and safety.\n\nPlease join us for a FREE event Saturday, March 17th 
 at 12pm at Arroyo Viejo Park located at 7701 Krause Street in East Oakland 
 (near Bancroft and 77th street). The day will include invaluable:\n\n
