Still Healing from the RNC? – Free Event June 7th
May 24, 2009
Sunday, June 7th 5:30 – 8:30
Walker Community Church, 3104 16th Ave S., Minneapolis
Months later, we in the Twin Cities are finding that we are still reeling from the Republican National Convention protests. This free event is meant to help address continuing problems, and begin to heal damage that wasn’t immediately apparent.
Open to anyone still dealing with emotional, psychological and/or physical issues related to the RNC. Specifically, it is for people who were detained, arrested or beaten in September, and for activists (or those close to them) who worked or are working on issues related to the RNC.
Features:
- A free meal. (Bring something to share if you can.)
- Two workshop blocks: Self-care and friend-care.
- Individual healing sessions with massage therapists, acupuncturists, and counselors.
- Aftercare information and referrals to rad, low-cost healers.
RSVP’s are appreciated, especially for those seeking individual sessions.
For more information or to RSVP, email irenernc@gmail.com.
A long overdue update
May 24, 2009
Between taking personal time, working on other projects, and going through school, we haven’t been very active over the last months. However, here are a few updates we have:
- Of the 14+ medics arrested from September 1st to 4th, no one has been found guilty of their charges. One medic was acquitted of several misdemeanors by jury trial. Another was found guilty of unlawful assembly, only to have the conviction overturned and case dismissed due to poor jury instructions. Information from TC Indymedia. Several other medics have received letters formally declining prosecution.
- We have a referral list of healers who are compatible with radicals and offer affordable/negotiable fees. Email northstarhealth@gmail.com if you would like a copy.
- Medics and supplies are available to provide support for events and protests. Email us if you would like us around.
