Amnesty International USA has launched its own branded cell-phone service, Amnesty Wireless, running over the Sprint CDMA network.
"Our members want to do all they can to support human rights," said Larry Cox, executive director of Amnesty International USA. "But they are also busy people. Amnesty Wireless makes it easier for them to make a difference every day."
Interesting aspect of this is that users can also signup for Citizen Action alerts text messaging service, informing them of urgent human-rights issues that need their support.
I love to see social activism using cell phone technology. In the near future, I will be posting a week long set of articles discussing all aspects of text messaging in politics.
