Welcome to The Fearless Network’s mobile messaging program! By participating, you’ll receive important updates about our mission, events, and ways to get involved in creating positive change. This program is designed to keep our supporters informed and engaged with opportunities to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
The Fearless Network is committed to providing valuable content through our mobile messaging service. When you join our program, you’re choosing to stay connected with an organization dedicated to creating positive social change. Our messages are carefully crafted to inform, inspire, and provide actionable ways for you to get involved in our mission.
You can expect to receive a variety of message types from us, including news and program updates about our latest initiatives and their impact on communities. We’ll send event notifications and invitations to help you participate in volunteer opportunities, fundraising events, and community gatherings. Our messages will also include information about volunteer opportunities where you can contribute your time and skills to meaningful causes.
Additionally, you’ll receive fundraising appeals that explain how your financial support can help advance our mission and create lasting change. We’ll also send calls-to-action on important issues, giving you ways to advocate for causes you care about and make your voice heard on critical social and political matters.
Joining our mobile messaging program is simple and can be done through several convenient methods. You can sign up online by completing signup forms on our website, where you’ll find clear instructions and immediate confirmation of your enrollment. Alternatively, you can join by text message by sending a designated keyword to our shortcode number, which provides instant enrollment in our program.
You may also encounter opportunities to sign up at our events or through partner organizations. Our staff and volunteers can help you join on-site at community events, fundraisers, or educational sessions. Partner organizations may also offer enrollment opportunities during collaborative events or initiatives.
By joining our program, you confirm that you are the owner or authorized user of the mobile number provided. This ensures that we’re sending messages to people who have genuinely opted in and want to receive our communications. You also acknowledge that you understand and agree to these terms and conditions.
Our messaging frequency is designed to keep you informed without overwhelming your inbox. Typically, you can expect to receive 2-4 messages per month under normal circumstances. These regular messages will include our most important updates, upcoming events, and key opportunities for involvement.
During peak periods such as major campaigns, legislative sessions, or significant events, you may receive up to 8 messages per month. These increased communications ensure you stay informed about time-sensitive opportunities and urgent calls-to-action. We may also send additional messages for special events or urgent issues that require immediate attention from our community.
The frequency may vary based on current events, organizational priorities, and seasonal activities. We strive to balance keeping you informed with respecting your time and attention. All messages are reviewed for relevance and importance before being sent to ensure you receive valuable content.
Understanding the costs associated with our mobile program is important for your planning and budgeting. Standard messaging rates apply according to your mobile carrier’s pricing plan – we recommend checking with your carrier about your text messaging allowances and any associated costs. If you have an unlimited texting plan, you typically won’t incur additional charges for receiving our SMS messages.
Data charges may apply for MMS messages that contain images, videos, or links that you choose to view. These multimedia messages provide richer content but may use your data allowance if you’re not connected to Wi-Fi. We clearly identify MMS messages so you can make informed decisions about viewing content that might impact your data usage.
We never charge fees for participating in our program. Our mobile messaging service is provided free of charge as part of our commitment to accessible communication with our supporters. Any costs you incur are solely related to your carrier’s standard messaging and data rates.
Our program utilizes different types of messages to provide the best possible communication experience. SMS messages are standard text messages that work on all text-capable phones and contain essential information in an easily readable format. These messages are compatible with all devices and don’t require data usage beyond standard text messaging.
MMS messages contain images, videos, or rich content that enhance your understanding of our programs and impact. These multimedia messages might include photos from recent events, infographics explaining our work, or videos featuring the communities we serve. MMS messages require a compatible device and may use data from your plan.
All messages are sent through automated delivery systems but include human oversight for quality and relevance. This means that while our technology handles the delivery, real people review content to ensure it’s appropriate, valuable, and aligned with our mission and your interests.
We believe you should have complete control over your communication preferences. You can stop receiving messages at any time by texting “STOP” to any message from us. This immediately removes you from our messaging program, and you’ll stop receiving messages right away. You may receive one final confirmation message acknowledging your opt-out request.
If texting isn’t convenient, you can email us at privacy@fearlessnetwork.org with your opt-out request. Please include your mobile number in the email so we can quickly process your request. You can also call our support line at 512-222-9837 to speak with a team member who can help you opt out over the phone.
For those who prefer online options, you can visit our website and use our opt-out link to remove yourself from the program. This online option provides immediate confirmation and allows you to manage other communication preferences at the same time.
If you need assistance with our mobile program, help is readily available through multiple channels. Text “HELP” to our shortcode for immediate information including program details, opt-out instructions, technical support information, and current contact details.
You can email privacy@fearlessnetwork.org for detailed assistance with any questions or concerns about the mobile program. Our email support team typically responds within one business day and can help with technical issues, account questions, or program information.

Regional and smaller carriers supported include Boost, Alltel (now part of Verizon Wireless), U.S. Cellular, Cellular One, MetroPCS, ACS/Alaska, Bluegrass Cellular, Cellular One of East Central Illinois, Centennial Wireless, Cox Communications, EKN/Appalachian Wireless, GCI, Illinois Valley Cellular, Immix/Keystone Wireless, Inland Cellular, Nex-Tech Wireless, Rural Cellular Corporation, Thumb Cellular, United Wireless, West Central (WCC), Cellcom, C Spire Wireless, CellSouth, Cricket, Cincinnati Bell, and Virgin Mobile.
Carriers are not responsible for delayed or undelivered messages. While we work to ensure reliable delivery, factors beyond our control, such as network congestion, technical issues, or carrier-specific limitations, may occasionally affect message delivery.
Our program is designed to work across a wide range of mobile devices to ensure maximum accessibility. SMS messages work on all text-capable phones, including basic phones, smartphones, and older devices. These standard text messages don’t require special features or capabilities beyond basic text messaging.
MMS messages require MMS-capable devices to display images, videos, and rich content properly. If your device doesn’t support MMS messaging, you’ll automatically receive SMS versions of our messages with the key information in text format. This ensures you never miss important communications regardless of your device’s capabilities.
Message delivery is ultimately subject to your carrier’s network coverage and performance. Factors such as signal strength, network congestion, and carrier-specific technical issues may occasionally affect message delivery timing or success.
Our data collection practices are designed to be minimal and focused solely on providing you with our mobile messaging service. We collect your mobile phone number when you opt into the program, along with the date and method of your opt-in for our records and compliance purposes.
We also track basic message interaction data such as delivery confirmations and link clicks to help us improve our program and understand which content is most valuable to our supporters. Any additional information you provide when signing up, such as your name, location, or areas of interest, is also stored securely and used only as described in this policy.
All collected information is stored securely and is used exclusively for program administration, message delivery, and program improvement purposes. We implement appropriate technical and organizational measures to protect your personal information from unauthorized access, disclosure, or misuse.
Your information is used primarily to send you the requested messages about our programs, mission, and opportunities for involvement. This includes news updates, event invitations, volunteer opportunities, and calls-to-action that align with our organizational mission and your expressed interests.
We analyze engagement data to improve our program by understanding which types of messages are most valuable to our supporters and when they prefer to receive communications. This helps us optimize our messaging schedule and content to better serve your information needs.
We also use your information to comply with legal requirements related to our mobile messaging program and to protect our rights and the rights of other program participants. This includes maintaining records required by telecommunications regulations and responding to legal inquiries when necessary.
We want to be absolutely clear about practices we never engage in regarding your personal information. We never sell your phone number or any personal information to third parties for any purpose. Your contact information is not a commodity to us – it’s a trust you’ve placed in our organization.
We never rent, trade, lease, or otherwise transfer your contact details for profit. We don’t participate in data broker arrangements or share your information with marketing companies or other organizations for their promotional purposes.
We never share your information unnecessarily with third parties. Any sharing of information only occurs in the specific limited circumstances described in this policy, such as legal compliance requirements or protection of rights and safety.
There are limited circumstances when we may disclose your information, and we want to be transparent about these situations. We may share information when legally required to comply with valid legal obligations such as court orders, subpoenas, or regulatory requirements.
We may disclose information when necessary to protect our rights, safety, or property, or the rights, safety, and property of our users and the public. This includes situations involving fraud prevention, abuse prevention, or other security concerns.
We may also share information when required to respond to valid government requests or law enforcement inquiries conducted under proper legal authority. In all cases, we review such requests carefully and share only the minimum information necessary to comply with legal requirements.

When participating in our mobile messaging program, you have certain responsibilities to ensure the program works effectively for everyone. You must provide truthful and complete information when signing up for the program. This includes using your real name and correct contact information so we can serve you properly.
You must use only phone numbers that you own or are authorized to use. Signing up someone else’s phone number without their permission is not allowed and may result in removal from the program. If you share a phone with family members, make sure they’re aware of and comfortable with receiving our messages.
You’re responsible for updating us if your contact information changes. If you get a new phone number or no longer have access to the number you used to sign up, please contact us so we can update your information or remove the old number from our system.
Our mobile messaging program is designed for legitimate engagement with our organization and mission. You should not use our program for spam, harassment, or any unauthorized purposes. The program is intended for receiving information about our work and opportunities to get involved, not for other commercial or personal uses.
You should not attempt to disrupt or interfere with our services, including trying to overwhelm our systems, hack our technology, or interfere with other users’ experience. Such activities may result in immediate removal from the program and could have legal consequences.
We ask that you respect the purpose and intent of our communications. Our messages are designed to inform and engage you with our mission. If you’re not interested in our work or no longer want to receive messages, simply opt out rather than marking our messages as spam, which can affect our ability to reach other supporters.
While we strive to provide reliable message delivery, there are factors beyond our control that may affect your receipt of messages. Message delivery depends on your wireless carrier’s network conditions, coverage area, and technical infrastructure. We cannot guarantee delivery timing, success, or consistency across all carriers and locations.
Network outages, whether local or widespread, may temporarily prevent message delivery. During such outages, messages may be delayed or may not be delivered at all. We’re not responsible for messages lost due to carrier network issues, technical failures, or other circumstances beyond our control.
Device compatibility and settings may also affect message delivery. Some older devices, specific device settings, or carrier-specific configurations might interfere with message receipt. If you’re experiencing delivery issues, we recommend checking with your carrier and reviewing your device’s message settings.
We reserve the right to modify or discontinue our mobile messaging program at any time, though we will provide reasonable notice when possible. Changes might be necessary due to technical requirements, legal compliance, organizational priorities, or other operational considerations.
When significant changes are planned, we’ll do our best to inform active subscribers in advance through our messages, website, or other communication channels. We may modify message frequency, content types, technical requirements, or other program features as needed to maintain an effective service.
If we discontinue the program entirely, we’ll provide advance notice and ensure that your personal information is handled appropriately according to our privacy policy and applicable legal requirements.
By participating in our mobile messaging program, you provide your express consent to receive marketing messages as described in these terms. This consent includes autodialed messages, though all our messages are reviewed by humans before sending to ensure quality and relevance.
You understand that providing consent is not required to make any purchase from us or to participate in our other programs and services. Your participation in the mobile messaging program is entirely voluntary and separate from any other relationship you may have with our organization.
Your consent remains valid until you choose to opt out of the program. You can withdraw your consent at any time using any of the opt-out methods described in this policy, and we’ll process your request promptly.
This mobile messaging program is intended primarily for users with U.S. mobile phone numbers. Our systems, carriers, and legal compliance are designed around U.S. telecommunications regulations and infrastructure.
If you’re using a non-U.S. mobile number, international messaging rates and restrictions may apply. Such rates are determined by your carrier and international telecommunications agreements, not by our organization. We recommend checking with your carrier about international messaging costs before participating.
Some features of our program may not work properly with international numbers due to technical limitations or carrier restrictions. If you experience issues with an international number, please contact our support team for assistance.
These terms and conditions are governed by applicable state law and federal regulations, including the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) and other relevant telecommunications regulations. Any disputes arising from these terms or your participation in the program will be resolved according to applicable law.
We comply with all applicable federal and state regulations regarding mobile messaging, including requirements for consent, opt-out mechanisms, and data protection. Our program is designed to meet or exceed industry standards for responsible mobile marketing.
If any provision of these terms is found to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. We may update these terms as needed to maintain legal compliance and program effectiveness.
