This protest action has ended, see the Operation Reconnect Postgame Report to see photos and videos from the event
April 12th was the third in a series of world protests called Operation Reconnect. This step is much more about getting the public to connect with personal stories of disconnection, rather than anything specific about Scientology.

Anonymous Announces Operation Reconnect
In our continuing efforts against the Church of Scientology, Anonymous is launching Operation Reconnect. Projected to take place in the month of April, this operation will shine a spotlight on families torn apart by the Church of Scientology. "The aim is to bring these families together," commented an organizer who identified himself as David Mudkip.
The name of this operation stems from the Church of Scientology's notorious 'disconnection policy', under which individuals within the Church are forbidden contact with those whom the Church deems to be a threat to its security. This policy is used frequently by the Church of Scientology to separate families, creating a rift between those outside the Church and those trapped within it. This also serves the purpose of removing any social supports an individual has outside the Church, making it more difficult for them to end their affiliation with this organization.
Since Anonymous set out on a campaign against the Church of Scientology, a number of individuals have stepped forth with accounts of their personal experiences within the Church. Many of these people described the negative influence exerted by the Church of Scientology on their families. On April 12th some of these individuals will be relating their experiences to the public as speakers at peaceful demonstrations.
We are Anonymous.
We have Awoken.
United as one.
Divided by zero.
Expect Us.

[edit] Fliers and Literature
these are targeted for Operation Reconnect, find more generic fliers here: Fliers and Literature
PROTIP: When printing fliers to hand to people, as opposed to hanging on walls, print them 4 to a page and cut them out. That way you get 4x the fliers for the same ink/paper, and they info is much more pocketable. Any of our fliers still look great when done 4up to a page.
 This is the flier you want. Double-sided and trifold, very informative. Don't print this image, get the full PDF HERE: Image:Reconnect trifold.pdf |

[edit] SubProtest
see main article Operation Reconnect SubProtest
If we set up shop in one of the public parks in downtown Houston, we will get much more foot traffic and have a lot more space. We could set up tables with fake e-meter/stress tests, we could have better speeches/entertainment. I think we need to reach a consensus on where next month's protest will be before it is too late to get folks in the know.
[edit] Roll Call, Supplies, and Working Roles
Please edit here and put yourself down for what you are planning on bringing to the party. You don't need to be anal, but if you know you're bringing something cool like a boombox or megaphone, put it down. If you're bringing something that's not on the list, go ahead and add it too. Also, we need some people to handle various logistical things. Please edit to post other roles that are needed, as new pages, so details can be fleshed out.
Remember, if you need something on the day of the protest, it never hurts to ask, but don't rely on us for your needs.
