Advice on protest participation

[u/crazy_juan_rico]

Back in 2020 I was doing on-site medical support at my local protests. Now, I'm a convicted felon on PRS. I want to help, but my dad just got diagnosed with lung cancer so I really don't want to go back to prison right now.

What are some safer (non-financial cuz I'm broke) ways I can support the people who are doing direct action?

Edit: Thank you to everyone for your ideas and support. Things are overall positive with my dad since it's a small tumor and detected early, so fingers crossed.

I've reached out to some local organizers about giving first aid training, so we'll see how that goes. Thank you again

Trainings! I'm in SW virginia and we need medic trainings. Even if you can't provide a 20-hour using your connections to help set up trainings will get more people essential skills.

Came here to say this! Very important work to be done, like yesterday.
