The Aftermath Billboards: How Public Awareness Helps Sea Org Escapees leave Scientology
About this episode
The Michael J. Rinder Aftermath Foundation's billboard campaign is creating pathways to freedom for those trapped in Scientology, with 10 billboards placed strategically near Scientology buildings throughout Los Angeles.
• Billboards provide a crucial contact method for Sea Org members who have no phones, internet access, or resources
• Board members raised funds to maintain 10 billboards for a full year despite Scientology's attempts to block the campaign
• Over 100 people helped in 2024 through direct grants, mentorship, career counseling, and emergency housing assistance
• Foundation working with families of current members to provide support when loved ones are ready to escape
• Specific focus on elderly members who face exploitation, including fraudulent credit cards opened in their names
• Mental health services now offered in-person in LA with online therapy groups launching in June 2024
• Nearly 2,000 volunteers across 31 countries supporting the Foundation's outreach efforts
• Education grants helping former members access educational opportunities denied to them while in Scientology
