Dealing with violence from outside the campaign/group
How do you deal with conflicts and violence from outside the group?
How do you prepare for encounters with representatives of the state like police or courts and the violence from them?
How does your group take into account how people will have different experiences of the state or law enforcement (depending on gender, race, class, origin etc)? How is people’s different needs for protection being received in the group?
How do you make sure that there are ways for people in more vulnerable positions to still participate in the action?
How are any specific consequences/repercussions as a result of the campaign/action being taken into account? For example, will anyone run a greater risk of being harassed?
