Brake Light Clinic Training

After many long months in the works, OCDSA Mutual Aid is preparing to start free Brake Light clinics, which are open and free to the community. This cheap, easy program helps mitigate law enforcement interactions with community members and keeps everyone on our busy roads safe. In preparation for this undertaking, OCDSA Mutual Aid will be hosting a Brake Light Clinic Training on Saturday, 13 December from 3:00-4:30PM to teach attendees skills such as how to change a brake light, how to set up a Brake Light Clinic, how to interact with community members in need of brake light changes, and how to pass these skills along responsibly. The location of our first training is still in the works, but please keep an eye out for next week’s newsletter as we plan it out!

After many long months in the works, OCDSA Mutual Aid is hosting its very first tail light workshop, which will teach attendees how to change a vehicle tail light and organise a tail light clinic. Tail light clinics provide a crucial service to the community by offering free tail light changes, which serve to reduce law enforcement interactions and save lives. In a time of unprecedented systemic racism directed at black and brown communities in contemporary America, a little light can go a long way! This event will be hosted at Centro Cultural de Mexico on 20 December from 3:00-4:30PM and is RSVP only. For more details on how you can learn a couple new skills and support your own communities, please consider joining us for this groundbreaking event!
