Our Vision
​
PartySafe Medics is a network of medical professionals committed to building a new model for nightlife safety: one that centers harm reduction, compassion, autonomy, and dignity.​
On a company level, that means:
-
always learning and training;
-
emphasizing harm reduction and empowering (yet informative) safer-partying education;
-
keeping up with research and cultural developments;
-
holding venues and promotions accountable by providing feedback on ways they can better uphold their responsibilities to their customers.
On a grander scale, it involves:
-
advocating for citywide regulations, including requiring access to free water and bathrooms based on guest capacity;
-
making our voices known on legislation that impacts healthcare and well-being of marginalized communities in NYC;
-
participating in local actions and mutual aid initiatives to bridge the gap between underserved communities and the clinical medical systems.
​
We Believe​​:
-
partying is an invaluable means for self-expression, community-building, and dignity-nurturing;
-
everyone deserves a safer space to gather and celebrate themselves and connect with others in their communities;
-
supporting partygoers’ health and well-being, and helping to maintain a safer space for that pursuit, is an honor and a privilege;
-
the partygoer is the ultimate authority on their own safety and well-being;
-
we as health educators must provide valuable information for self-care and health in ways that honor autonomy and center cultural respect.
