Why Phones?

It may seem like an odd pairing.
Mobile phones and acivism.

But what are phones as a means to deliver a message? They help us stay connected with what’s important. And by generating donations from money that would be spent on a phone bill anyway, they can provide automatic funding completely separated from the limited pool from which non-profits usually draw. To us, that just makes a good sense.
