Empower yourself with lifesaving tools in this training on forming effective teams to provide security and emergency trauma care in dynamic protest situations.

Join this limited-enrollment Tactical Street Medic Training to deepen your role in community defense and movement safety.  This hands-on session combines practical medical skills with protest-readiness training tailored for frontline settings.  Led by local street medic squad AZ TACmed, participants will learn how to stock and organize a street medic bag, provide first response care during actions, and build confidence to operate in chaotic, high-stress environments.

You’ll practice key techniques like wound care, crowd extraction support, and scene assessment, all through a trauma-informed lens.  In addition to skills practice, we’ll hold space for discussion around ethics, tactics, and organizing strategies of street medic work including how to move in teams, protect vulnerable community members, and stay grounded during escalated encounters.

This training is the second in a two-part community safety series which includes “Active Shooter & Trauma 1st Aid Training.”  While sessions can be taken separately, we strongly recommend signing up for both if possible.
