Working Assets Long Distance
Let me introduce you to the easiest thing you have ever done to help fund progressive causes: Working Assets Long Distance. Let Working Assets be your long distance carrier, and they will donate 1% of top-line revenue to carefully selected nonprofits. Fifty are being funded in 2003, including Doctors Without Borders, Adbusters, Rainforest Action Network, the ACLU, and Planned Parenthood. Since 1985 they have donated over $30 million, including $6 million in 2001 alone. The bills are printed on recycled paper, and every month for the first year you get a certificate for a free pint of Ben and Jerry’s (Vegans can give theirs to a non-vegan friend: Ben and Jerry’s used to sell eleven sorbets and six ices, but all have been dropped from their lineup.) Combine that with charges of 7 cents per minute (with a $3.95 monthly fee), 180 free minutes, and a reimbursed carrier switch fee, and you cannot go wrong: that’s actually less than I paid with AT&T. If you support progressive causes, I cannot think of a reason not not to take two minutes and switch your service. You can do it all online. Here’s the link again.
