Who We Are
The Seattle Street Medic Collective is dedicated to the health and well being of our communities by providing on site and grass roots based first aid and medical support within the Seattle area. We hope to do this by disseminating our knowledge in an open, transparent and non-hierarchical method, and working with compassion and care.
We’ve already begun to provide medical assistance at protests, rallies, demonstrations and actions where traditional emergency aid can be completely unavailable. In addition to providing on site assistance, we hope to begin hosting and encouraging a range of diverse medical trainings, from protest care to bike safety, and would like to foster a range of diverse infrastructure to not only facilitate, but help empower our communities to take care of their own needs, and move away from a reliance on a corporate system that we feel is unjust, discriminatory and broken.
The Seattle Street Medical Collective is a group of individuals that contains health care professionals such as registered nurses, Wilderness EMT’s and first responders, as well as a host of non health care professionals dedicated to the health and well being of our communities.
If you are engaging in an action in which you are worried about police repression, or work or live with a community or a group of people who you feel would benefit from a medical training or simply have questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us at seattlemedics@gmail.com.
