Fight
Domestic Violence.... |
|
It should go
without saying; there is no excuse for Domestic Violence! Unfortunately, a lot of people still can’t control
themselves. Some times it’s
incredibly difficult to do anything about the problem.
Other times
it is very easy. So, how easy is
it? Just Clean out your closet and
get rid of that old cell phone.
A coalition
of groups has gotten together to support a program called “A Call To
Protect”. The following is taken
from their site at:
CALL to
PROTECT has helped to protect tens of thousands of potential victims of domestic
violence. Unfortunately, many more people are in danger and need help. Through
the CALL to PROTECT "Give Back" campaign, the wireless industry
collects no longer used wireless phones and sends them to Motorola and
Brightpoint, Inc. to be recycled, refurbished and tested. The phones are then
given to participating wireless carriers who activate the phones with donated
airtime and distribute them to domestic violence organizations.
To donate
your used wireless phone to help fight domestic violence, mail the phone,
battery and charger to:
CALL to
PROTECT
c/o
Brightpoint, Inc.

5732 W. 71st

PROTECT, please contact the Wireless Foundation at Foundation@ctia.org.
