Protesting $cientology

Many people have chosen to take direct action to speak out against $cientology's unethical behavior - the lies, the harassment, the numerous, tragic ways $cientology hurts people.

picket	get tips on picketing read about previous pickets
leaflet	download a leaflet or write your own, then give them away
write letters	write to your representatives write to your Attorney General write to your newspaper
put links on the web	Operation Clambake offers banners and code create a site and add it to the Scientology webring
inform yourself	check out some of the other critical sites
be creative	the Activism Training page has lots of suggestions and advice. so does the the Activism Toolkit . (It's aimed at environmental activists, but many of the same ideas apply.)

My Activism

In addition to assembling this web page, I have protested $cientology's unethical behavior by talking to my friends and family and, more visibly, by picketing Scientology's offices.

I've written a short essay and a flier about why I picket. I've also posted reports from my pickets:
