The Missing Project has created this toolkit chocked full of ideas about how to make those who have been incarcerated visible and draw attention to the oppression of the Prison Industrial Complex. They have made this guide to lend ideas to community activists about how to start a discussion about hyper-incarceration through a creative lens to show the real impact on families, friends and communities.

Another resource from the unfortunately disbanded Midnight Special Law Collective, this workshop outline covers non-violent street action. The workshop is almost two hours long and isn't theory heavy. Instead, the facilitator is encouraged to promote discussion and explain suggestions for meaningful action. This workshop includes:

Exercises about defining violence

Role plays about non-violent reactions to violence

Police liaison role play

Tactics to deal communally with police violence

Put together by the Rebelles, a group of young feminists with chapters across Canada, this workshop facilitation guide and agenda sets up how to hold a workshop on feminist action. The guide is for a consensus or discussion based workshop for groups to work out an action or to go over what questions feminists should tackle on their way to deciding on a campaign. The guide goes over:
