Call OUT for MEDICS!

*For brevity, the term Medic will be used to cover first aid, mental health and wellness, conflict mediation and all other forms of medic skills

Things are rolling in Southern Indiana and we’re in need of MEDICS! We are looking to create a fluid medic team to sustain our anti-I69 campaign as folks will be coming and going all summer. We’d like to have an overlook of how many medics plan to be here on what dates so we can start working on filling in the gaps. If you are interested in being a part of a wider campaign medic team we are requesting that folks planning on coming to Southern Indiana this summer check in with RBEF at i69medic@yahoo.com (or when you roll into town) with skill sets and approximate dates.

If you’re looking to gain new medic skills there will be medic workshops throughout the summer. The first medic and wellness workshop will be held May 25th at 2pm in Evansville, IN. More details can be found at www.stopi69.wordpress.com

If you are interested in facilitating a medic or mental health and wellness or conflict mediation workshop we would greatly appreciate and invite you to come and do so. If you have little to no experience but would still like to plug in with any of the medic stuff we encourage you join in ( fell free to contact us about it) as many people are willing to share their skills even if you can’t make it to a workshop!

For those unable to make it out this summer that would like to help the medic team there are plenty of supplies we could still use and will need to replenish all summer. A few specifics are listed below and for more ideas look at www.stopi69.wordpress.com. Please contact our Rideboard to arrange pick ups and drop offs of supplies or send supplies to:

Turtle Turn
PO BOX 2161
Evansville, IN 47728

If you have any other questions or concerns or other resources to offer please contact us at i69medic@yahoo.com. Thanks!

Solidarity,
RBEF
