FEATURED!

There's a low-risk way to fight fascism and also learn what it is, which may push you to fight it more. Here are some detailed instructions.

Learn the secrets to all of our hijinks,* and then work with us** to pull off your own. Or watch movies, read rantsbrowse around, find out why we did what, or learn how our stuff (maybe) works.

* Or their presstalks, videoswebsites, emails, releases, photos, and stories (with lessons).
** Here's a little video that sums up how.

Hijinks

Fiction can sometimes lead to reality
Believe you're going to change everything. Sort of.
Always, always punch up. Never, ever punch down.
A campaign takes a long time to win; one action is just a small part of it
If you must lie (and you must), lie honorably
If you're having fun, fun happens (so keep yourself entertained)
Actions always fail, but movements usually succeed
Goofy humor can convey very serious things (laughtivism)

Something you want to do? Let's go! For example:

ICE is horrific and not even hiding their fascist ideas and actions. There's not much to reveal, but a whole lot to do.
These are some of the funniest and/or splashiest Yes Men actions from over the years. A few of them even accomplished something! (As part of a movement, that is.)
These are stories of actions that we've been a part of—as they really happened, in all their complexity, and not as a press release or movie presented them.
This animation beautifully explains how our trainings work.
These are projects that believably present achievable positive outcomes — outcomes which are not only possible, but that would significantly improve our reality.

Who are we?

Ever since 1996, the Yes Men have used humor and trickery to highlight the corporate takeover of society, the neoliberal delusion that allows it, the corporate Democrats' responsibility for our current situation, and so on. And while we're all about "building awareness," we do realize that's not all there is, and that it's only ongoing campaigns that really make change.

We are you if you join us!
