If you are carrying Narcan then you need to be mentally prepared not just to use it but to use it in the face of pushback. A normal side effect of getting Narcan is feeling like you don't need another dose and maybe didn't need it to start with. This is because it worked.

Friendly reminder from your street medic: you need to wear real shoes and socks when you go to any protest. You need to carry water+snack. You need to be dressed for the weather. Come in a group and leave in a group. Do not wear contacts. Wear a good mask. Only wash eyes w water.

To organizers, from your street medic: 1. The people at the front of the march should include disabled folks + elders. The march pace should not be led by able-bodied young people or a U-Haul or a car. You are leaving disabled people behind. 2. crowd size x2= your water needs

To be blunt : lots of folks who carry Narcan are Very Nice People who care about consent and their community. You need to be ready to get in a strangers space and touch their body over vigorous objection from bystanders and that will take mental prep for Very Nice Folks.

If you expect to bring someone back and get thanked by them or their loved ones or the folks around them you are going to have a rude awakening. Most people who get Narcan are still technically breathing, just very very slowly. And getting Narcaned sucks. (less than dying tho).

People don't want it to happen to them and they don't want you to do it to their friends. You will not get a ticker tape parade. You need to know for sure when to administer and stand your ground and do it anyhow. If you can't rouse em and they're sub 6-8 RR you need to dose em.

You can run a hot breakfast for 100 folks on less than $100. A 25# box of pancake mix is $28, giant syrup for five, fresh bananas and apples and oranges for thirty, box of 60 eggs is ten bucks, cases of water and coffee powder, juice if it's on sale, that rounds you out.

3. If you don't have corkers, security and de-esc teams you're leaving this job to your medics to do by default. Get these folks. 4. If you can't see two exits or if the entire march is in a place it can be circled, you do not need to lead the crowd through there. Longer>kettled

few things to keep in mind this week, a refresher: -just because someone has a microphone or bullhorn doesn't mean they're in charge and you don't have to listen - carry an ifak, wear real shoes and dress for the weather, protect your eyes, mask up - find your medics n exits

If you see me say it it's because somebody's done it. This is not intuitive & a lot of the folks organizing are very young people who have not had to do this before. It's important for us old folks who have been out here for a long time to share what we know so they can succeed.

5. The crowd up front should be in communication with the crowd in the back. If the front gets ahead, the front should not start moving until the back has not just caught up but had at least a minute break. Especially if we're doing hills. The elders at the rear need a minute.

@Mike_Selick If you dose someone and they say I don't need another dose you better stay put and stay with the patient because narcan wears off before most optiates. In another couple minutes you should be prepared to reassess and when they meet the criteria for another dose you do it.

Your narcan training should cover what to do after the dose - win, lose, or draw, the situation doesn't end when administration happens or ems arrives. a post-admin plan and training for it is good trauma stewardship and trainings without that are setting ppl up for harm.

If you need a medic, yell medic. Over and over. Get your neighbors on the ground to people's mic with you. Don't stop until someone comes. It won't be long; not all the medics are marked. We may be right next to you. If you need help, start calling for a medic. Someone will come.

A more robust meal can cost closer to three bucks a person, we regularly serve large pieces of meat and lunch/dinner sides and sweets for that. And that's if you're paying retail, which hopefully you aren't if you're running this program. $1200-$3600 to feed 100 3x a week.

A riddle for you: A man is diagnosed with a health condition that is chronic but "not serious enough" to keep him in the hospital. However, he is being denied access to group shelters because of his heath diagnosis. So he pitches a tent. The city wants him to move. Where?!?!

If you are organizing events reject the pushback from liberals and get community defenders in your spaces. Please remember that you can't and won't have an event without them; if you say you don't have comdef what you're really doing is asking your medics and corkers to do it.

I just watched a guy get pinched for shoplifting by a fake houseless person who is actually a loss prevention officer. He's working in a pair with a uniformed security guard at the grocery store on bway and 26th in Everett, don't snitch tag but stay frosty out there, friends. 💖

I'm tired of this discourse about people stealing formula for profit. If you spend even one second contemplating the economics of stealing formula for a living you see how we're still talking about crimes of desperation done for minimal gain. There are no organized formula rings.

This was passed by a lib mayor. Politics is not a team sport and your blue shirt tweedly mustache villain is the same as the red shirt one. Y'all voted in this fascist cause of her blue shirt even tho she covered up a rape in her job to care for vulnerable unhoused youth.

The city of Everett passed the food/water/narcan sharing ban. I'm gonna be back out to serve just like always and if they wanna come pick me up over it that's too bad. I'm gonna bet we're faster, smarter, and better organized than them. Fuck the police, feed the people.

Looking for a lawyer barred in WA state who has our back as we continue to feed the people and the city of Everett continues to violate our rights and the rights of our neighbors. If that's you please get in touch; if it's not please share with your networks. Thank you!!

They're out here chasing us down with pigs in the rain on Easter Sundays. They're sending the park rangers to service to take our tags. They're pulling down the gazebo where our neighbors stay dry, they're fencing off our service area and giving it to dogs for a park instead.

another neat thing about the US that non-USians may not know or understand is that if you do mutual aid/community relief work there, you actually have to have your faces pixelated to protect your identity unless you're already dead because our fascist government hates it and you.

Standing in a broiling kitchen cooking food for our hungriest neighbors as a hundred some odd folks queue up for the meal and the Blue Angels run a dozen times overhead is Seattle in nutshell How many million dollars did they spend this morning?

$45 narcan? Behind the counter? And it's empty - at the drug store?! Bartells should be ashamed. Evergreen reminder that if you're local you can come get it from me free, training included - or hmu and I'll lyk when my next class is. I -always- have one coming up. Always FREE.

When I tell you that the pantry restock that we do on Fridays is critical, please understand I mean that by the time I had finished stocking it there were people queuing up in line to take the trash from us to the dumpster and shop the pantry. People desperately need this food.

If you're new to doing harm reduction here's some non stigmatizing language for you to use! Avoid saying: clean/dirty Instead try: fresh, unused, unopened, new (for kit/points) laced/cut (for substances), used/opened (for kit/points) Non stigmatizing language saves lives 💖

In addition to being morally wrong, ethically wrong, and a gross display of disregard for human life, it's also been settled in court that this violates our constitutional rights to feed our neighbors. We -will- fight this and we -will- stay in service.

Lots of y'all are sending that post so I'm just going to say it here: anybody that recommends you put bleach water in your wounds should never ever be trusted with your healthcare. Household bleach causes corrosive salts to form in your wounds. Dakins solution=\= household bleach

"I don't think I need to carry narcan, I don't know anyone who uses opiates." Yes, but do you go to the grocery store, the movies, the park, commute to and from work, the fast food joint? Do you know any cancer patients or curious teens? Do you have neighbors? You need narcan.
