Occupy Oakland Medics Supply Needs

Categories: Medics Committee

Thank you for wanting to donate. Without your generous support we would not have supplies to help empower our communities. Its been a wonderful thing to be apart of and we hope that these ties that we have help build a better beautiful world that promotes compassion, dignity and mutual aid.  We are completely free community ran first aid and wellness center.
