Making Spaces Safer: A Guide to Giving Harassment the Boot Wherever You Work, Play, and Gather

by Shawna Potter Author

This DIY guide is for any establishment, house party, basement show, co-op, bar, and other spaces where people gather to help recognize what harassment looks like and the steps we can take to make these spaces are inclusive and supportive for people who experience harassment. Authur Shawna Potter, lead singer of War On Women, has been training venues of all kinds on how to create safer spaces from accessibility to hiring and curating events without bias, techniques on taking a victim-centered approach to address harassment in your space, and how to hold yourself accountable. With the addition of personal stories, case studies, sample policies, and no-nonsense advice like “How to Flirt without Being a Creep,” she shows why safer spaces are important, while making it easier to achieve them. Eschewing theory, she assumes the reader is already an ethical creature and jumps right in with candor, punk passion, and righteous anger to get the job done!  (Short Discount)
