One Big J20 Readiness Post + Aftercare / Legal Aid Night

Taking Care of Yourself + Your Friends

Here’s a reminder that none of us has to do this alone.  Please read, print, and share these two handouts, one produced by the National Lawyers Guild Portland Chapter and the other our own Protest Safety/Chem Weapons flier.

Protest Safety & Chem Weapons Handout

NLG Know Your Rights + J20 Aftercare Handout

 

Bring a buddy, layers, snacks and water.  Consider eye and mouth protection in case of chemical weapons. But most of all, show up for yourself and for one another.

 

“We have a duty to fight for our freedom. We have a duty to win. We must love each other and support each other. We have nothing to lose but our chains”  — Assata Shakur

J20+ Aftercare and Legal Aid Night

 Tues. Jan 24th 6-9pm ; Q Center, 4115 N Mississippi Ave

Come receive herbal, acupuncture, bodywork, first aid, and legal guidance at this J20 Aftercare Session. Tea and snacks will be served.

The event is free and open to all–primarily intended for those taking part in the J20, Women’s March, NAACP march, immigrants march, and other events surrounding the 2017 inauguration. The goal is to help those subjected to police violence, arrest, injury, illness, and stress by this round of protests or by the combined and intolerable effects of weather and political season. This will include both a brief program and opportunities to meet 1:1 with care providers

National Lawyers Guild attorneys, legal workers, and law students will be available to discuss legal options around police interactions and charges, and to help point folks towards possible next steps.

AftercareEvent

Accessibility: The Q Center is wheelchair accessible, offers gender neutral bathrooms, and is on the Bus 4 line (7 blocks from MAX Yellow line). Though a community center for the LGBTQ community, all are welcome. To make this as inclusive a space as possible and to be good guests, we ask all volunteers and participants to ask rather than assume pronouns, observe people’s emotional and physical boundaries, and consider the impact of language and behavior.

Volunteering: Organizers seek volunteer body workers, herbalists, energy healers, and other modalities of care workers to care for attendees free of charge. Volunteers are asked to email rosehipmedics@gmail.com or PM the organizers to inquire about requirements and timing.
