L. Ron Hubbard's technology is made available to individuals through
a growing number of organizations around the world that provide a
broad range of services from education and drug rehabilitation to
Scientology auditing and training.

As Scientologists become more aware of problems and injustices in
society, they take action, forming organizations and groups to rid
society of its rotten spots. Over the years the Church of Scientology
and its members have forwarded the cause of social justice and have
brought about reforms in laws and government, making this world safer
and more just for everyone. The graph below shows the expansion of
social reform groups formed by Scientologists and the Church. It
includes reform groups, human rights and other community action groups.
