We are U Medics (U is for Ujimaa, Kiswahili for "collective work and responsibility"). Our vision is to build a grassroots network of Black people around Chicago prepared to create justice for their communities in emergency situations. This workshop teaches participants to become first responders for their families and communities. The skills we teach include first aid for massive bleeding injuries, how to communicate with police when they arrive on the scene, and how to intervene if someone is having an asthma attack.
