Getting Started

Welcome to Anonymous Toronto. If you'd like to join our protests (globals or minis) and don't know where to start, this page is for you!

Below is a list of Do's, Don't's and other things of importance that you should know before you protest:

Do:

Cover your face. It doesn't have to be a Guy Fawkes mask, we welcome creativity, but if you're going for tradition we will direct you towards a store that sells them.
Bring water and some food to keep hydrated and nourished.
Be aware of the current Anonymous and Toronto Police relationship (elaborated upon further down).
Bring cameras and other recording equipment. If you get in trouble, video evidence is extremely beneficial.

Spend some time browsing around the following sites:

Do anything that will lead to possible Fair Gaming (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fair_Game_%28Scientology%29). This means you should use a fake name, cover your face, and keep all ID secured.
Leave any relevant ID at home (ie. driving down without a driver's liscense), the police may detain you.
Talk to the media without being knowledgable about what you're talking about.
Do anything that will get you arrested.
Provoke the Scientologists (they really enjoy playing the 'PITY' card).

The following will get you into trouble with the police:

Protesting directly in front of the CoS building.
Chalking on the sidewalk will result in a fine.
Harassing any Scientologists (this includes verbal harassment).
Not listening to law enforcement.
Touching the "Church's" windows .
Blocking the sidewalk.
Blocking businesses (this will get you in trouble with the businesses, who will then address the police).
