The People's Medic

⚠️ Something we learned on Sidewalk Sunday that we need our community to know: the shaded area near the bridge is now off limits. The city posts no trespassing signs all over, which means our unhoused neighbors can’t take shelter in that shade, even in extreme heat. This directly impacts their safety & we want this on people’s radar.

It was hard to leave our friends knowing our people were still out in the sun with one less place to cool off.

Every Sidewalk Sunday we are at the historic downtown Las Vegas area, 7am to noon. This work makes dreams come true. Connecting, showing up, doing outreach with the people who make Sidewalk Sundays what they are, fulfilling.

Heat illness is our biggest concern right now, so we focused on hydration & electrolyte support, healthy protein, & cooling measures like umbrellas, sunglasses, cool towels, frozen water, & wellness checks.

Some of the best parts of our Sundays aren’t medical at all. They’re just sitting in the shade with our friends, catching up, making sure everyone’s okay. We’ve built real connections out here & it shows every week.

We need supplies right now, especially hydration & electrolyte items, protein like canned beans and drinks, & cooling gear like the ones listed above. If you’re able to help, please reach out.
