Say Something Superhero

Say Something Superhero Field Guide: A Manual for Eliminating Interpersonal Violence is a project of Safe Passage, Inc. in Northhampton MA which draws upon the anti-violence work of Lynne Marie Wanamaker, ESD Instructor and co-founder of the Empowerment Self-Defense Alliance (ESDA).

It can be awkward being a "Say Something Superhero," that is, bringing attention to behavior  (and by doing so to yourself) that you would like to see changed. Check out the manual for details (link above) but here are some highlights:

• Know that you can make a difference

• Acknowledge the awkward

• Know your objective

• People are watching

• Expect feelings

• Remember: You didn't invite the icky

• Connect with like-minded others
