LOYOLA LAW SCHOOL STUDENTS
UNITE TO STOP DOMESTIC VIOLENCE

LOS ANGELES -- The Day Student Bar Association of Loyola Law School, downtown Los Angeles, is kicking-off its branch of the "Call to Protect" program and is urging your donation of old and unwanted cell phones. The Call to Protect program is a joint effort between the Wireless Foundation and the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence. Call to Protect reprograms old cell phones to automatically dial 911, or a crisis hotline, at the touch of a button. It then distributes the used cell phones to battered women shelters. Your donation may potentially save a life by providing a cell phone to an abuse victim who has been now enabled to call for help from any location.

If you would like to make a cell phone donation, arrangements will be made for your donation to be picked up. Please call Loyola Law School at (213) 736-1008 or email: calltoprotect@yahoo.com.
