This Saturday, Critical Resistance Oakland and the Oakland Power Projects will be hosting an important workshop, “Know Your Options: Chronic Illness.” It is designed to increase people’s understanding of how policing, imprisonment, and gentrification drive health inequalities manifest as chronic illnesses and to empower people who live with them to access the care they need with minimal contact with law enforcement. The workshop ends with the problem of substance use and specific training on responding to and reversing drug overdoses.
About the Oakland Power Projects workshops
Because policing fails to meet people’s needs, and puts people in danger of arrest, imprisonment, and/or even death, we must eliminate connections between policing and healthcare.
The “Know Your Options” workshop series aims to increase people’s access to the healthcare they need and to decrease people’s contact with law enforcement. Workshops are facilitated by healthcare workers and community organizers. |
