The Dublin Herb Bike Service Manual is now available online as a FREE pdf download!  Go to Resources/ Handouts + Links to find the newest addition to our collection of Service Manuals.

Our newest manual detailing our work on the Dublin Herb Bike in Ireland.  This mini-mobile clinic provides herbal care + comfort on the streets of central Dublin.  This manual includes basic logistics, including forms, packing lists, and other considerations.  Like all of our manuals, it is a work in progress and will be updated as we grow!

It has been 50 years since the Poor People’s Campaign. Reading these historic demands we might realize that after 5 decades we could simply copy, paste, and resubmit them to the government.

The photo above was taken at a protest at the Georgia State Capital when the people demanded our state not strike down the Medicaid Expansion of Obamacare (aka the Affordable Care Act.)

The quote he holds was made by Dr. King when addressing the 2nd Medical Committee for Human Rights in 1966.
