Violence against elected representatives—be it physical or psychological, online or offline, threatened or realized—undermines democracy. This is particularly the case when violence targets politicians from historically underrepresented groups, whose members may choose not to run for office, self-censor, or drop out. Based on interviews with twenty-three former and current members of the German Bundestag with a migration background, our exploratory study examines their strategies to cope with violence and the intersectional mechanisms underpinning their repertoires. MPs’ strategies to both prevent and respond to violence drew on a combination of individual resources and those provided by their private, collective, professional, and institutional environments; their use of specific strategies and access to resources had clear intersectional patterns. Racialized female MPs who had to expend the most time and energy coping with violence that attacked their very presence in politics had the least resources at their disposal.
