Hey Medics!
Please forgive the delay, but we're busy working on a few projects over here in the southeast. As of this writing, we're deep in the hills of West Virginia preparing for a mass mobilization. Tis the season...
The listserv for DNC medic organizing is up and running. To get added, please send an email to:
streetmedicsdnc2012@lists.aktivix.org
It might take a few days for us to add you, as we have limited internet at the moment.
See you in the streets!
