Amnesty International Launches a Mobile Phone Service
Amnesty International USA has launched its own branded cell-phone service, Amnesty Wireless, running over the Sprint CDMA network, that makes every call a call for human rights. Cellular News reports.
"Any time subscribers make a phone call, 10% of their charges will automatically go to Amnesty International, without costing them anything extra".
"Our members want to do all they can to support human rights," said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA. "But they?re also busy people. Amnesty Wireless makes it easier for them to make a difference every day."
And Amnesty Wireless members who want to do even more can find in each month's bill Citizen Action alerts, informing them of urgent human-rights issues that need their support. "
