Media Coverage Of March 15 Anonymous Protests Against Scientology
NYC Protests
I missed the opportunity to cover all the events from around the globe for Saturday's Anonymous protests against the Church of Scientology, but fortunately many others captured images as well as some great local press reports. Here's some links and excerpts from various protests for you to peruse.

The Village Voice - Anonymous vs. Scientology "Our Nonsense Is Free"
“What brings me personally here is how disgusted I am with their practices against their own patrons,†said Anonymous #1. “They charge thousands and thousands of dollars and they have been known to commit egregious crimes against members of their own church...Simply look up Lisa McPherson. Her name will reveal enough.â€*************************************** Sydney Busts Out The Big Brass Ones - News.com.au - Second Round of Anonymous vs. Scientology *****************************************
Philadelphia Protests
The City of Brotherly Love - Philadelphia Weekly - Opposing Scientology
While eating cake and donning party hats in mock celebration of late Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard’s birthday (which was Saturday), they rallied against a laundry list of alleged abuses, from Scientology’s aggressive silencing of critics to its tax-exempt status and its stance on digital copyrights.***********************************
Toronto Protests
Canada Wishes L. Ron Hubbard A Happy Birthday - Toronto Sun - Rally 'targets' Scientology
Though Hubbard obviously could not make an appearance, his words were never far from yesterday's debate. "You don't get rich writing science fiction," a protester's sign read, quoting remarks by the Scientology founder and one-time pulp-fiction author in 1948. "If you want to get rich, start a religion."I will add new posts as new media accounts emerge of Saturday's protests. If you find any you want posted, please leave in the comments.
