Too many activists are left traumatised by police action, in debt due to legal costs or isolated in long-running court actions when they are ‘abandoned’ by campaigns or activist groups. Resources have been drawn from around the world and from our own experience here in Australia to help activists, organisers and legal workers to better support activists facing the police and legal system.

However there are many things that we can do individually and collectively to better enable us to deal with the pressures involved in facing the police and the legal system.
