We hope that the information available on this web site will help you to be safer and stronger in your activism. Remember that we do this work because it is important and fun - and at least some danger is essential to life.

We are prepared to discuss first aid for demonstrations or other health care issues with any interested activists or groups. While we do trainings outside of Portland, OR (our home base), we are also happy to try to put groups in contact with local health care workers.

Important Announcement:

BCHC is currently on hiatus. We're not offering any trainings, attending planning meetings, or organizing clinics. Individuals of BCHC may attend demonstrations. During our hiatus, we may not be able to answer all of our email requests.

Here are some groups we recommend for information on trainings and other healthcare needs:
