I agree with lulzomatic, I think we should inform the police of a possible protest but we need times/dates etc. Saturdays are best - biggest customer numbers in the shopping centre. Any ideas?

The first day of the event which is a Monday is definaltey the first date that we have to counter this. We need to knock up some fliers now about the CCHR as it's only 11 days away.

Then if you want to do it every Saturday then there are two Saturdays before the event finishes

The 5th and the 12th

But i think this has to be counter more than once a week

And the last day should be a must as well.

I can't make it during the week, and for some reason I think I'll be busy on the 12th ;)

But count me in for Sat 5th.

I think we need to some very well thought out wording for the signs and flyers. The message we are trying to get across is a bit more complex than the one for the main demos.

Ok, people,

I'll be dropping down the Police Station tomorrow,


I need estimate numbers of people who are attending, times, dates, and so on.


GOGOGO.

Well Saturday the 5th April will probably be the biggest date as it's on a Saturday and doesn't clash with the main Demo.

I can't make any protests in the week due to other commitments, I will hopefully try to make it on Sat 5th.

I'll try to attend April 5.

I can't do then, best of luck to you.

Count me in :)

All four of us will be a force to be reckoned with. =P

Tiem?

11 again?
Half eleven?

Lemme know.

11/11.30 sounds good to me.

11/ 11.30 @ Queens shopping centre April 5th?

Doesn't sound impossible, but I can't give a definite yes at the moment.

Location/ Transport links? (excuse my lazyness)

Arriving by METRO.


Go to Snowhill Train Station (In Birmingham)
Go downstairs, catch metro.
Get off at WEST BROMWICH CENTRAL
Cross Road, enter Bus Depot.
Walk through, take first Right.
(This'll bring you to KINGS SQUARE.)
Take first left, walk.
(This'll bring you to the outside gap inbetween Queen and Kings Square.)


Seems as good a place to meet as any.

For buses from Birmingham,

you want the 74 or 79,
Both of which stop at the Bus Depot.
And u r win.

Aha...

I'll need to look into this. [later on in the week]

I'm in! I'll be there 11:30 & have about 2 hours of demo time. First though, I will scan the exhibit & recon details. Video footage of the actually exhibit would be cool. Does anyone wanna partner me on a seperate day for some video lulz? I'll try to wire me up with a secret cam.

That would be quite cool.

I'd partner you, I'm unable to do the majority of protests as they have a habit of falling on days that Blues have home games. This one I can definitely do though, same with the 5th as thats an away game against Wigan.

Good work guys, keep it up. But HOLY SHIT JUST GOT THIS INFO OF PLANNED CCHR EXHIBITS

United Kingdom
January Manchester, England at the Sachas Hotel
March Birmingham, England
May Edinburgh, Scotland
June and July Sunderland, England
August London, England
September 4 Brighton, England, at the 40th Anniversary Conference of the British Sociology Group
October and November Plymouth, England

And worldwide, too. We gotta stub it out!

E-mail campaigns for the ones in May and such, might be able to prevent them.

cool Scud, I'll get working on it.

Has anyone got any response from the shopping centre yet?

One more thing ... does anyone know if the Edinburgh Anons know about it?

Have split the topic so that we have a seperate thread about the protests.

Enturb now knows

Yeah, they're aware of it.

Gday - Brumfag who went to london protests (IRCfag aswell - can be found in #london)

i approve of mini-raids on location - is anyone doing a site recon on the monday thou? i searched the net for pics and to tell the truth - this exhibit (if its the same one) is atrocious. Literally, im surprised its ALLOWED to be shown in a public place.

The following are images ive found - some are iffy but you 'coff' get the picture... (no pun intended)

wonder how local Phyc's like being labeled as Communists/Nazi's and mass murders?

BONUS VID - CCHR undercover audio (with pics from exhibit) about CCHR literally trying to get between phyc help and people effected by the london bombings - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sEDwq7EC4HQ&NR=1

(edited - i fail as spellcheck, also found extra vid/audio)

Question:

Can we protest *inside* the shopping centre?

We'd need permission from their owners... but if we don't ask, we don't get.

If we have permission we can. Otherwise it's a street protest. That said, street protest could work well, provided we hit the main entry points to the exhibition. If it's ground floor we hit the ground floor entrances, the majority of people can be informed before they get to the exhibition.

Have you seen the size? We need to get inside I think.

Is anyone turning up to protest on Monday? Monday is good for me, but I can’t do Saturdays.

I will try to come but April 12th im busy for obvious reasons and April 5th im all so busy watching a certain team play at Wembley.

I'm all on for monday.

Will it just be me and SkudMuffin on Monday?

I’ve got all the equipment to make a sign, I’ve got paper to make flyers but nothing to put on them. Any ideas?

How about something like,

Psychiatry Cures
Scientology Kills

http://www.daisy.freeserve.co.uk/cchr_jeff.html

There's some good information in there you might be able to use.
Read and condense important points for flyers?

I'll keep looking for anything else you might want/need to know as well, nothing else to do all evening.

Like this?



I can knock up some pamphlets to if you have an idea of what to concentrate on summarizing.

So whats the plan here? Monday and/or Saturday? In or out of the shopping center?

I can do monday and saturday (long holidays are long) but I'd be without leaflets for monday (too shorta a notice)

Outside.


Sorry guys, I need to get my act together, I've been swamped.

Written up letter to the police should be delivered tomorrow.

Flyers: If some one can give me a text I can knock up a shed load at the weekend.

Will do things in black and white (might have some colours done if it's a good price). Have to shop and sort stuff out tomorrow anyway so I can get Placards done then.

I may be able to do Monday, I'll have to get back to you on that.

As for the info, if there's a site out there that summarises the CCHR out there (from our point of view), I'm yet to find it.

http://www.daisy.freeserve.co.uk/cchr_jeff.html

copy-paste the main points you guys want in and I'll knock it up.

Scudmuffin, I love that sign.

+ many internets to you.

I really should read the sites I post here more carefully shouldn't I?
Re checking it now.

Edit:
"Technically the actions and rhetoric of CCHR against psychiatry are what one would see from a hate group; attributing negative outcomes to the group’s actions or mere existence, professing intolerance and hostility toward the entire group, attributing great powers to the group, and seeking the eradication of the group. Because the profession of psychiatry is not listed as one of the attacked groups in most definitions of hate group, perhaps CCHR could be labeled a psychiatry hate group."
To summarise: CCHR = Hate Group

And then about 2/3 of the way down the page, there's mention of their alternative to Psychiatry, which, surprise surprise, is auditing. Maybe manage to put something on their about that..?

I can only do monday. =(

Just to let ya'll know.

If we have a paper permit, I can hand that over to someone for Saturday though.
