DESCRIPTION:Free Training in Basic First Aid for Seizures, gun shot wounds and bleeding 
 traumas. SPEAKOUT, free first aid packets and free food - nourishment for 
 your mind and body.\n\n\nFREE MEDIC TRAINING FOR THE PEOPLE \n\nThis 
 project was partially inspired by the revelations of an Oakland Paramedic 
 investigator who blew the whistle on the denial of immediate medical 
 treatment for Oscar Grant at the Fruitvale BART station. \n\nOscar, like 
 many victims of police violence, did not receive immediate medical 
 treatment after he was shot by BART police.  While Oscar’s friends on the 
 platform were demanding that the police call 911, BART police officer Tony 
 Pirone told them to “shut the fuck up” and refused to call 911 for over 
 20 minutes. \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 has launched a project to work with our 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, May 12th at 1:00 pm 
 at Arroyo Viejo Park located at 7701 Krause Street in East Oakland (near 
 Bancroft and 77th street). The day will include invaluable: \n\nEMERGENCY 
 FIRST AID TRAINING & free first aid packets\nSPEAKOUT - say what's on your 
 mind and get involved!\nFREE FOOD \n\nHope to see you there! \n\nFor more 
 information call the People's Community Medics:\n510-239-7720
