The Black Cross Healthcare Collective formed after the WTO protests of 1999, seeing a need for medical care that specifically served people who were attending direct actions, demonstrations and political protests.
In the early 2000s they pioneered community-supported trials to find a way to treat pepper spray exposure. These trials resulted in an antidote that has been used in street protests internationally.
Produced by Jodi Darby, Honna Veerkamp and Erin Yanke.
