Jubilee Cafe

***Actual time is 7:15-8:15am***

Jubilee Café is an ecumenical campus and community outreach program sponsored by Canterbury House, the Episcopal Campus Ministry of the University of Kansas. It is committed to serving our homeless and in-need neighbors with dignity and respect. Our primary goals are to enhance self-esteem and promote wellness among our guests, our volunteers, and ourselves. Participation in, or affiliation with, either Canterbury House or any other sponsoring organization is not a prerequisite for volunteering at the Jubilee Café.



he Jubilee Café provides our homeless and in-need neighbors in the Lawrence area a generous and healthy breakfast on Tuesday and Friday mornings in a setting that allows our volunteers to interact with each person on an individual basis. Jubilee Café is a fully licensed restaurant that has been operating since 1994. We believe that by treating our visitors as guests and our volunteers as vital, we will affirm individual humanity and enhance self-esteem. The simple act of choosing an item from a menu allows a person to exercise a measure of control in one basic area of his or her life, which can cross over into other areas as well. And the act of serving another person in need gives us the direct experience of "loving our neighbor as ourselves."


pen on Tuesday and Friday mornings, the Café serves its guests from 7:00 am to 8:00 am.

Basement of the First Methodist Church, 10th and Vermont, Lawrence.

Shaw Brothers 45th Anniversary Concert

The performers are donating 10% of the net profit after expenses to SOG, a citizen action group dedicated to advocating that water is a natural resource to be held in the public trust and to be protected now and for the future.

Basic Street Medic Training, May 14-16, 2004 in Albany

Basic Street Medic Training, May 14-16, 2004
Albany, New York

This course is designed as a complete introduction to action medical
knowledge and skills. The completion of this course will prepare you to
serve as a street medic at political actions. Street medics also serve as
a source of health care information and resources within their
communities, and so the training is open to anyone who wishes to gain
greater first aid/medical knowledge to use in their lives and to share in
their community. We cover Basic Street First Aid (from treating bleeding
wounds to splinting sprains and breaks to calling 911 for emergencies),
Weather-Related Injuries, Street Operations Tactics, Initial Patient
Assessment, Psychological First Aid, Chemical Weapons Treatments and
Aftercare, and Stress Management and Treatment. We can also provide Skills
Evaluations for folks who want them.

You do not need to have any previous medical or first aid training in
order to attend this course.

What Information Will Be Covered in the Training?
Practical information on taking care of yourself and your friends if you
plan to attend protest events. While the focus will be on urban street
protests, much of the material may also be applicable to wilderness
situations and first aid needs in your community. This includes preparing
for actions, personal care, affinity group safety considerations,
weather-related hazards, detox and aftercare, and your questions.

Street Operations Tactics, including a presentation and discussion of
codes of conduct and ethics, team makeup and teamwork, calling for backup,
and dealing with police/EMS, how/when to move patients and how to conduct
triage.

Basic Street First Aid, including Initial Patient Assessment, treating
bleeding wounds, splinting sprains and breaks, calling 911 for
emergencies, and weather-related injuries.

Psychological First Aid. How to recognize and assist people with emotional
distress whether it results from physical injury, excessive stress, or
traumatic experience.

Chemical Weapons Treatments and Aftercare. Covers a review of current
chemical agents in use, a discussion of personal protection gear (gas
masks, respirators, etc), and a complete introduction to tear gas and
pepper spray decontamination and treatment protocols with demonstrations,
hands-on practice and role-plays.

Schedule
The tentative schedule for this training is as follows: Friday evening,
May 14 from 6-10 pm; Saturday, May 15 from 9 am to 7 pm; and Sunday, May
16 from 9 am to 7 pm. We encourage people to attend all of the training,
and we will give registration preference to people who can attend all of
the training sessions. We will provide specific information about the
training and various logistics to registered participants before the
training weekend.

Food and Housing
We hope to supply some vegan food for participants during the training. We
also encourage participants to bring extra (preferably vegan) food to
share if they can.

Housing during the training weekend is available on a
first-come-first-served basis. If you will need housing, please contact me
(dylan) as soon as possible. When you request housing for the training
weekend, please tell us about any allergies, dietary restrictions, or
other special needs you have so we can try to accommodate your requests.

Costs
We have a sliding scale fee from $0 to $100 for this training course, and
we welcome barter in place of money. We do not want financial restrictions
to keep anyone from taking this course. We anticipate that our cost per
trainee will be between $30 and $40, and we hope that donations from
participants will cover our costs.

A Message From Our Trainer
Hi there. My name is Eowyn, and I am thrilled to be one of the trainers
for the May street medic training in Albany, New York. I am writing this
so you know a bit about me and what to expect from the training. I am an
anarchist, vegan, happy and pissed-off-at-the-state-of-the-world kind of
person. I am also a street medic, wilderness first responder, budding
herbalist, and family physician working with poor people in Lawrence,
Massachusetts. I do street medic work because I want all people to feel
confident and cared for during demonstrations, and I hope to help people
have more autonomy and power in their efforts to be healthy. In addition
to the information we'll present, the Albany training will include lots of
interactive work, discussion and opportunities to develop specific,
concrete skills that we all use on the streets and in our communities. We
are also designing the training so it represents our philosophy as
activists—respecting and valuing everyone's knowledge and experiences,
promoting and creating an anti-authoritarian and anti-oppressive
movement, and having lots of fun while we learn and share together. If you
have any questions about the training, you can contact the other
organizers or email me at dreowyn-AT-yahoo.com. See you soon!
