On Wednesday 8th December at 11am Amnesty will launch a mobile phone

campaign supported by The Body Shop. Come along to support the campaign and
to take action in this new exciting way!

Amnesty supporters lined up in Grafton St holding up mobile phones to take
texting action.

Section and Alwiye Xuseyn of AkiDwA (African Women's Network).

who would we be texting?

if the idea is to jam communications with protests or send messages of support then why just texts? what about fax, phone & websites?

while texts are fast ways of communicating with activists, they also make massive profits for overcharging phone companies.
I appreciate the cause but am wondering about this idea of an " exciting new way" of protesting which is presumably to get publicity but could look a lot like a mobile phone ad.
