Description

The Love Offering Clinic Supervised by volunteer faculty and organized by student group #ACCHS4BlackLivesMatter, the clinic was piloted in February 2015. Ear acupuncture, tai chi, qi gong, and meditation will be available to participants. The Love Offering Clinic is donation based, walk-in and trans/LGBT/queer friendly. The I - 慈 Love Offering Clinic will repeat on the last Sunday of every month (except August and December). Trauma, stress and frustration impact the body; acupuncture can help coax it back to homeostasis and health. Auricular (ear) acupuncture has been shown to be effective in the treatment of a range of conditions, including: musculoskeletal pain, stress relief, detox, headaches and allergies. #ACCHS4BlackLivesMatter After the Ferguson verdict, Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences student, Namonyah Soipon, called for a school-wide meeting. This meeting resulted in the launch of the first pilot clinic events in February 2015 - by a multiracial group of students. The clinic is intended as an act of solidarity with protestors around the world, as Black lives should be valued, loved and defended from harm in this nation and on this planet. #ACCHS4BlackLivesMatter will be continuing to provide an ongoing clinic for all who need care. #ACCHS4BlackLivesMatter affirms that injustice must be named and that the modern health care model must be transformed. An empowered, healed world is expected and anticipated. The Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences ACCHS and its ongoing, low-cost, student acupuncture clinic has served the community of Oakland for over 31 years. It is the third-oldest Traditional Chinese Medicine school in the United States. History of Acupuncture and Social Justice in the US: The detox program at Lincoln Hospital in the Bronx, New York, is a clear example of acupuncture as social justice. It was founded in 1970 by political activists: the Black Panthers, the Young Lords and White Lightning. Dr. Mutulu Shakur (Assata Shakur's brother) was an acupuncturist; he led the Lincoln Hospital detox program from 1971-1978. * The hashtag #ACCHS4BlackLivesMatter is used with the permission of the original creators of the #BlackLivesMatter movement (Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi and Patrisse Marie Cullors-Brignac).
