Journalist Luke Rudkowski was attacked by police Wednesday night while trying to document the Occupy Wall Street arrests in NY. NYPD used pepper spray, batons, and brute force to move protesters away from the entrance to Wall Street after many tried to push through police barricades. Rumors immediately circulated that police provocateurs dressed as protesters were to blame for the incident.

This training will be composed of introductory emergency medicine, support work in radical communities, anti-oppression, folk & herbal medicines. While this will largely focus on medical needs for urban marches and actions, this training is easily tailored to wilderness spaces, your place of work, and all your favorit haunts. We teach from our own manual, with lecture, practical, and scenario-based approaches--(almost) all materials provided.

As in the past, the training will last a 3-day weekend--June 11th -13th (Fri 5-9, Sat/Sun 9-6) and we are hoping to see faces both new & old. Out-of-towners will be accommodated, as well as other needs to the extent possible. Some food will be provided. Childcare references are available upon request.

Currently, there is nothing more controversial in President Barack Obama's health care reform proposal than the "public option." Much of the controversy, of course, has been generated by private insurance companies, determined to safeguard their hefty profits, and by Republican politicians, eager to destroy anything that might redound to the benefit of the Democrats. Even so, a little clear thinking on the subject of public programs might illuminate their advantages and disadvantages.
