The Call to Protect program is a joint effort between the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Wireless Foundation.
The program collects old cell phones, reprograms them to automatically dial 911 or a crisis hotline at the touch of a button, and distributes them to battered women shelters.
Good Morning America hopes to put a cell phone in the hand of every domestic abuse victim in the country. Cell phones are particularly
important because abusers often try to prevent victims from calling the police. Victims of abuse can safely leave their homes and call the police when they have a cell phone.
The program has already received cell phones and free airtime donated from several major telecommunications companies.
Good Morning America is encouraging everyone to help in this worthy cause. The cell phones should be mailed to:
