So shall we all pop down to our local scientology org.s and protest on the same day? London are doing 21st July.
C'mon guys - it'll be just like the old days. I want to dress up as a pirate again and shout "Cult Ahoy"
It looks like Washington DC have already reported for duty: https://whyweprotest.net/community/...nonymous-vs-scientology-washington-dc.103400/
yes yes yes! do eet! strike while the iron is hot and get the media involved if you can suggestion :make signs about child slave labor and katie holmes/divorce related stuff so the public can relate and the media will be more apt to cover it
Ideally we need to get people who were at raids in 2008 to join in. Can people who are interested start threads for their cities?
yes I started a CALL TO ARMS thread a few days ago Hoping to renunite old cells and get some new people too https://whyweprotest.net/community/threads/call-to-arms-time-to-reunite-and-surge-ahead.103526/
also a thought, being that the orgs are really empty with nobody inside and no public going in, perhaps cells can protest where it will count more and where the media will be more apt to cover it? I suggested Governent builidings or some where in the town center where it is more public. Also people may want to use signs that relate more to the public. Using the media blitz that is going on, with the TC divorce is the icing on the delicious cake. Signs with "Scientology Child Slave Labor" will get the public more involved. Ask why your town, county, city or whatever allows this to happen. Change flyers up a bit? Just some suggestions. AGAIN, people can do what ever the hell they want.

I fully support this and I discuss this with polish Anons, but I don't know, if they'll agree. There's no Scientology in Poland yet, so many polish Anons are afraid that we'll advertise Co$ protesting it.
If you protest at a site other than one owned by the group you are protesting, it is confusing. In 1997 the Clearwater cops asked if we would protest in front of the church across the street from Flag instead of in front of Flag. I blew my top (not a good idea to cops). I said we had people coming from Europe, Canada, and all over the United States to protest the Church of Scientology, not the Presbyterian Church. If we couldn't protest in front of Flag, we could just as well stay home and protest in front of any Kmart or something and pretend we were protesting Scientology. When you protest in front of an org, you send a powerful message to the Scientologists that they do not control their environment. They cannot stop free speech. They just have to suck on it, and wash off the chalk when we're done.

Sanfrananons are go! Aussie and Kiwianons traditionally kick off the day from their time zone but no sign of them yet.
can people post the idea of a Global Protest Against Scientology on Saturday 21st July 2012 over to ESMB and other sites where it might be of interest?
yes I realize that. But there is nobody at the orgs and a lot of orgs don't have a lot of general public going by. Besides, if you are going for more of a "why isn't the government doing anything about the child slave labor in the SO?" route, then more public places and government buildings would certianly foot the bill better. It wouldn't be confusing if the signs reflect what you are there for. And you may get more media exposure that way too, with all that is going on now. just a thought
We need to keep this protest simple and obvious. Katy Holmes is in court on 17th July. If this protest is to have a theme it should be highlighting the neglect and abuse of children and the destruction of families caused by scientology. The cult as an information gathering organisation and as a stalking bully. I agree - it has to be outside their buildings - to let everyone (them, the public, local police, press - everyone) know we are onto them and we are free to tell everyone about them. Protesting / flyering outside other buildings is a great idea and should be done at another time in each individual country. Scientology is different in every country on religious status, tax exemption, political infiltration, front groups, charity status, etc. It's too complex and will dilute our message if we try to include all that on 21st July.

Hi Mods - might be a help to rename this thread to: Global Protest Against Scientology on Saturday 21st July 2012
Vegas is in. We might only have two people, though. I've got 3 new lenses to try. All of the goaders have pretty much left, so sadly it'll be silent and incoherent no matter how many decide to show up
Don't worry - There's 2 weeks to get new people and may I remind you of this one man protest in Antarctica: https://whyweprotest.net/community/threads/clearing-antarctica.68161/#post-1352280
we're missing aussies, kiwis, canadanons, japananons, antarcticanons, and norwayanons always set a high standard. Anyone in contact with people please ask if they'd like to join in.
Perhaps on every gossip site that has TomKat comment shit this protest could be mentioned. Maybe those with media contacts could poon and generate a story in advance to attract more people. ( Course that could backfire if no one turns up).
Vancouver (Canada) has organized a raid for July 14th, well in advance of all the recent media rumpus. It might change. If it does, I'll let it be known.
