I am proud to have worked alongside every member.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou did not let your volunteers or staff sit there but you gave them a way to do something and told them, \u2018OK, let\u2019s go. We are doing this,\u2019\u201d said a neighbor.<\/p>\n<p>Referring to the Church\u2019s initiative to provide essential information on how to stay well and prevent the spread of the virus, a human rights leader and author said, \u201cIt was very enlightening the way the documentary showed how you educate those who don\u2019t know, especially in impoverished areas. You teach people where they don\u2019t know. You empower people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The pandemic had an indelible effect on the entire generation who lived through it. Many have not yet recovered. So, in many ways, the message that \u201cSomething <em>can<\/em> be done about it\u201d is as important now as it was over the past three years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat stands out to me the most is how everyone got together and helped people,\u201d said a woman who volunteers with a Christian program that helps at-risk youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are all about humanity,\u201d said a teacher who attended the premiere. \u201cSo, it was very inspiring. The community is still recovering. Without people like you helping, I don\u2019t know where we\u2019d be.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a lecture in 1958, Scientology Founder L. Ron Hubbard spoke of the philosophy that informs this and so many other aspects of Scientology: \u201cScientology helps people to help one another. This is the message of all prophets in all ages. Help one another. It is a formula for life that cannot fail. It is the message of Scientology.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch <em>Operation: Something Can Be Done About It<\/em> on the Scientology Network, airing on \u00a0DIRECTV Channel 320, DIRECTV STREAM, AT&amp;T U-verse and streaming at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/\">Scientology.tv<\/a>, on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scientology.tv\/apps\/\">mobile apps<\/a> and via the Roku, Amazon Fire and Apple TV platforms.<\/p>\n<p>Since launching with an introduction by Scientology ecclesiastical leader Mr. David Miscavige in March 2018, the Scientology Network has been viewed in 237 countries and territories in 17 languages.<\/p>\n<p>Satisfying the curiosity of people about Scientology and Founder L.
