Creative, bold visuals make a great center piece for every direct action. They do much more than make your actions look good. They unify your group, amplify your message, invite people to have a personal interaction with your work, and provide a visual story through symbols that clarify the issue. If you integrate art into your campaign strategy and actions, you can make change irresistible. In this manual you will find simple directions on how to make banners, giant puppets, stencils for t-shirts and posters, and customized t-shirts. Use them as a starting point and improvise your own techniques!

If you know that you hurt the person calling you out for abuse, acknowledge it. If you think its a possibility that you might have hurt them let them know. If you have any inkling that some way that you interacted with them might have compromised their dignity and boundaries let them know. The first step to dealing with our abusive tendencies is getting out of denial. Denial is like an infection. It starts in some locality (specific instances and situations, nitpicking at certain parts of an account of the situation[s]), and if untreated festers and eventually consumes us entirely. When we are able to vocalize that we are aware that something isn’t quite right with our behaviour it brings us a step closer to dealing with it in a meaningful and honest way.
weiter...Interviews
1) Wenn Du von einem Journalisten kontaktiert worden bist, frag immer wer sie/er ist, von welcher Zeitung/TV Kanal etc., fuer wann sie/er das Interview braucht und was sie/er genau haben will:
a. Welche Publikation oder Sendung?
b. Wird es regional/national/international ausgestrahlt/veroeffentlicht? (Internet?)
c. Aufgenommen oder live?
d. Welches Format, z.B. Interview mit einer einzelnen Person oder mehreren, sprich Diskussion; wenn Diskussion, find heraus, wer noch dabei ist, damit Du weisst, was auf Dich zu kommt.
e. Was fuer Fragen/Aspekte – Welches Thema und von welcher Perspektive?
Sag dann dass Du zurueckrufst und ueberleg Dir/besprich mit Deiner Gruppe, ob und wie Du/Ihr das machen willst/wollt
Dann…
2) Ueberleg Dir wer das Publikum sein wird und basiere das was Du sagen moechtest darauf
3) Ueberleg Dir ein paar kurze Zitate, die Deine Message ganz genau auf den Punkt bringen
4) Deine Kernaussage, das was Du unbedingt rueberbringen willst, sollte soweit wie moeglich am Anfang des Interviews sein
5) Denk immer daran, was Du rueberbringen willst und nicht was der Interviewer hoeren oder nicht hoeren will!
6) Sag niemals ‘kein Kommentar’, das kommt immer rueber, als haettest Du was zu verbergen; versuch lieber die eine Frage, die Du nicht bentworten moechtest zu umgehen, oder dazu zu benuetzen, Deine Message nochmal zu verdeutlichen. Wenn Du eine Frage nicht beantworten kannst, weil Du die Antwort nicht weisst, sag das ganz einfach, oder benutze die Gelegenheit etwas zu sagen, was Du wichtig findest, z.B. ‘Darueber kann ich nichts sagen, aber was ich Ihnen sagen kann...’
Geneigte_r Leser_in, in den Händen hältst du die Broschüre AS_ISM vom „Antisexismusbündnis Berlin“. Wir haben uns die Mühe gemacht, ein paar Texte zum Thema Sexismus im allgemeinen und im speziellen zusammenzustellen. Darunter befinden sich grundsätzliche Texte, die Begriffe wie Gender und Definitionsmacht versuchen zu klären und Texte, die Bereiche wie antisexistische Diskussionskultur und den Umgang mit der „heterosexistischen Matrix“ beleuchten. Um das Ganze ein bisschen praktisch zu machen, gibt es im Heft mehrere Flyer für verschiedene Anlässe zum Ausschneiden und weiterverbreiten und zusätzlich eine Veranstaltungsreihe, die wir im Folgenden kurz vorstellen. Viel Spaß beim Lesen.
The interview is the method by which the journalist tries to get what they want and also the means by which you must put your message across.
What we’re up against:To achieve this it’s important to have a clear understanding of what the story is:

In einem Interview geht es darum, dass die InterviewerIn das bekommt was er/sie will und Du Deine Message rueberbringst.
Wogegen wir ankaempfen:Um dies zu erreichen, ist es wichtig, ein klares Verstaendnis dafuer zu haben, was Deine Story ist:

**** BEFORE THE MEETING
Preparations
Preparation group - Prepares the agenda;
Who has something to talk about at the meeting, and what is it about? The preparation group makes sure that the person in question has prepared an introduction for what s/he wants to talk over and has suggestions (as concrete as possible) for how the issue should be treated (discussed). The preparation group should also look up who the meeting facilitators (these shift from time to time) are going to be.
Useful questions for the preparation group
1. What is the purpose of the meeting, why are we having the meeting
2. Goal of the meeting, what results should we achieve, what decisions should we make
3. What documents are needed during the meeting
4. Where/in what place should we hold the meeting
5. How much time do we need
6. Agenda
The meeting participants should receive information about the above mentioned things, well before the meeting.

METHODS OF DOMINATION
A Norwegian feminist and peace activist, Berit Ås, listed five master suppression techniques in the 70's, in order to show the ways in which one person can get power over another person.
1. Making invisible
Are certain people talking all the time? Do some people only have eye contact with each other? Are your suggestions ignored or are others gazing through their calenders or looking at their phones when you're talking? Is somebody's repeating what you've just said and proposing it as their own suggestion?
2. Ridiculing
Are your suggestions laughed at/made fun of? Are you treated like a child? Are people saying that they know your suggestions wouldn't work "cause it's already been tried ten years ago"?
3. Withholding information
Does somebody in the group have all the important information? Do you begin the discussion without having presented the same information to all the participants? Are people swapping information without sharing it with the rest of the group?
4. Double punishment
"Damned if you do, damned if you don't". Is everything wrong no matter what you do? Are others saying you're not participating if you're quiet, and that you're dominant if you're suggesting something?
5. Heaping blame and putting to shame
Blaming happens through using ridiculing and double punishment. Blaming is what's done when people are judging you more for who you are than what you do. This technique can be seen at a societal level in the way women who have been raped feel shame and blame themselves for what has been done to them.
