Anonymous March 1 Protest: LA



EVENT:
CCHR 39th Annual Awards Dinner -- Anonymous Demonstration
We have already informed the police. No permits are necessary.

LOCATION:
Hyatt Century Plaza Hotel
2025 Avenue of the Stars
Los Angeles, CA 90067

WHEN:
Saturday, March 1st 5:00pm Show-Up Time (Try not to be late, but lateness is understood)
We will stay until the dinner is over. There is some concern that they may prevent attendees from leaving until we depart; we intend to stay the night. BRING WARM CLOTHES (and/or blankets if you stay late) and be prepared for a long one! If you need to depart you are welcome to do so at any time, but we fully expect to stay until they let their attendees out.

IRC Meeting for Questions, etcetra:
irc.partyvan.org #socal
THURSDAY, February 28th, 8:00pm Pacific Time

WHY:
L. Ron Hubbard educated his followers on how to deal with your enemies. He instructed them that if you can't find something in a person's past, make something up. Psychiatrists are Scientology's self declared enemies. It makes you wonder how many people have had their licenses pulled due to fabricated malpractice claims.

Elli Perkins died March 13th, 2003 at the hands of her Schizophrenic son, Jeremy. Elli was stabbed 77 times after years of trying to help her son's mental health condition using Scientology. Scientologists are often opposed to any form of psychiatric care, stating that it 'does not work'. The doctor concluded that "he was suffering from certain digestive problems, that he had certain chemical toxins in his body. And he needed to be purged of it. And he needed to be energized through vitamin therapy." Elli Perkins gave Jeremy the vitamin treatment to no avail. Jeremy was set to leave in the afternoon of March 13th. On this day, following a fight with his mother, he took a shower during which he attempted to slit his own wrists. After exiting the shower he went to the kitchen where Elli was on the phone, took a steak knife, and brutally stabbed her to death.

If he had been granted access to psychiatric treatment, perhaps Elli would still be alive. If Lisa McPherson had been granted psychiatric help, rather than being locked in a room to "ride it out" perhaps she would still be alive.

SIGN SUGGESTIONS:
"CCHR is a Scientology Front Organization"
"Lisa McPherson Was Denied Psychiatric Help"
Any signs specifically targeting the Church of Scientology
CCHR Specific signs; more cases of those who died due to lack of Psychiatric help

Please, no "honk if you hate" signs. No "honk" signs in general; that is a police request.

Our audience will not be the general public. Our audience will be almost entirely CCHR/CoS patrons. Do not expect a friendly reception, or multitudes of supporters honking at us. This one is about impact.

Do plan on wearing your Guy Fawkes mask or other coverings. Bring alternative covering in case the masks become an issue. Once again, many of us will be wearing suits; we're also in a somewhat glitzy area so looking nice won't hurt (just BE WARM. Ladies, short dresses, as much as I love them, you'll freeze to death).


Much as I hate to have to say this: God damn, I wish I were in LA this week.
