About Us
|
The Do No Harm Coalition was founded in May 2016 in response to police violence in San Francisco and the 17-day hunger strike by the "Frisco 5." We are healers, health workers, and activists accompanying communities affected by state sanctioned violence in our collective struggle for health, dignity, and sovereignty. Health is a human right and as health workers we have a collective duty to eradicate systems of oppression which threaten that right. The coalition currently operates as a single Bay Area-based chapter. We invite healthcare providers who share our values to start chapters in their own regions.
