Mobile Apptitude

Through our donations to progressive non-profits, CREDO helps you make a difference every time you talk on the phone.  But it doesn’t end there.  Through CREDO Mobile Action, you can use your mobile phone to take rapid action on pressing issues.

It works like this:  when an urgent political situation arises — say, a bill we support is getting a vote in committee — we send a text message alert to members of the mobile action network.  The message includes some basic information about what’s happening.  Mobile Action members can then reply to the message with the word CALL.  Seconds later, your phone rings and a message plays with talking points on the issue.  Finally, the call is patched through to the decision maker, and you can make your voice heard.

You can sign up today for CREDO Mobile Action alerts.  Or, join the network by taking action on any of the current petitions listed in the right-hand sidebar at credoaction.com.  Just include your mobile phone number and select ‘urgent issues and election info’ (we’ll also remind you when it’s Election Day) before clicking to sign the petition.

We’ll send you text messages once or twice a month as fast-breaking issues come up.  Also, keep your eyes open for new features in the near future, including the ability to reply FAX and have us submit a fax in your name directly to the decision-maker!
