The tragic events of Portland last night and the recent flurry of news articles claiming that Philly's homicide rate might outpace even 2021 are a stark reminder that everyone who is able needs to learn how to stop the bleeding from a gunshot wound. The anxiety that some protesters are feeling now is felt *daily* in zip codes in this city.
Whether you are "planning" (remember that choice is a huge privilege) to be in dangerous situations or not, learning to stop bleeding safely is *vital. If you have resources get yourself a tourniquet and more importantly, get one for a friend or neighbor who doesn't have the resources.
Remember, no one is closer to an emergency than the people in the emergency. We protect us and that means everyone.
