Vote for Democracy Now!, Evergreen Action and Life After Hate
Every month, CREDO members vote to distribute our monthly grant to three incredible progressive causes – and every vote makes a difference. This February, you can support independent journalism, climate justice, and the fight against violent right-wing extremism by voting to fund Democracy Now!, Evergreen Action and Life After Hate.
Democracy Now!
Democracy Now! is a daily, independent news hour hosted by award-winning journalists Amy Goodman and Juan González. Their reporting includes breaking news headlines and in-depth interviews with people on the frontlines of today’s most pressing issues.
Funding from CREDO members would help Democracy Now! produce its independent news hour, bringing tens of millions of people critical information about war and peace, threats to democracy, the climate crisis, abortion rights, gun control and more.
Evergreen Action
Evergreen pairs bold policy products with campaign-style communications and advocacy tactics to drive positive change. The organization fights for a just and thriving clean energy economy through raising standards, catalyzing investment, and centering justice.
Funding from CREDO members will help Evergreen engage directly with federal and state officials to pass and implement ambitious climate policies to defeat the climate crisis and build a thriving, just and inclusive clean energy future.
Life After Hate
Life After Hate helps individuals disengage and deradicalize from violent far-right extremist (VFRE) hate groups and hateful online spaces.
Funding from CREDO members will help its crucial work to combat violent extremism. By interrupting violence committed to advance extremist beliefs, the organization can move toward a world that allows people to change and contribute to a society without violence.
Your vote this month will determine how we divide our monthly donations among these three progressive groups. Be sure to cast your vote to support one, two or all three by February 28.
CREDO members who use our products and services everyday are the reason we are able to make these donations each month. Learn more about CREDO Mobile and join our movement.

How to set up parental controls on your smartphone
Did you finally give in and purchase a new phone for a young person in your family — and you’re a little nervous about it?
We get it. There’s a lot of questionable content on the Internet, and there are real concerns about the social, emotional and educational issues that arise from excessive screen time.
The good thing is that there are tools that allow parents and caregivers to set boundaries and parental controls as your children test out their first phone. Here’s how to get started.
Set up Parental Controls on iPhone
On Apple devices, we recommend that you first set up Family Sharing so that you can manage your child’s screen time, purchases and other actions from your device. With Family Sharing, you can share subscriptions and locations, limit purchases, and of course, set up parental controls.
- To set up Family Sharing, go to Settings > > [your name] > Family Sharing, then follow the instructions to set it up.
- You can now add a family member to your family group. You may also need to create an Apple ID. Here’s how.
Now, you can set up parental controls. To set up Screen Time for a member of your family:
- Go to Settings > > [your name] > Family Sharing > Screen Time.
- Tap the child you want to set up Screen Time for.
- Tap Screen Time, then follow the onscreen instructions.
You can now go to your child’s device to set up Screen Time, safety, communications, content and privacy settings. Here’s a detailed explainer from Apple to adjust these settings.
Set up Parental Controls on Android
Like Apple devices, you can use the Family Link app on Android devices as a central place to control parental controls. This will allow you to create an account for your child, manage your child’s screen time and apps, know their location, and restrict access to certain content. Here’s how to get started:
- Download and install Family Link.
- Open the app on your device and follow the on screen instructions to get started.
- To begin managing the parental controls on your child’s device, follow these steps from Google to limit screen time, allow or block apps, and find their location. You will need access to your child’s device to complete the steps.
For additional information and troubleshooting, browse this help guide from Google.

New phone? Here’s how to transfer your data from your old phone to your new one
Did you or a loved one get a brand new mobile phone over the holidays — but you’re still not sure how to transfer your apps, photos, files, settings and everything else from your old phone to your new one?
Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered! Transferring your data to a new phone may seem daunting, but it’s incredibly easy once you get started, if you follow these simple tips.
Moving data from your old iPhone to a new iPhone
With the introduction of iOS 15, Apple has made transferring data to a new iPhone even easier than before, with a new feature called “Prepare for New iPhone.” This feature gives you free temporary cloud storage space for 21 days from when you initiate the transfer, so you have extra space to move all of your photos, videos, data and settings if you don’t have enough cloud storage space available under your current plan. To initiate:
- Go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone
- Tap Get Started > Continue
- It may then ask you to tap Turn on Backup to Transfer if iCloud backup isn’t already running.
- If you haven’t backed up your iPhone to iCloud recently, this process may take a while but you can come back to check the status before proceeding to the next steps
Now, to transfer your data to your new iPhone, you will need to use “Quick Start.” Here’s how:
Before you start:
- Have your Apple ID and password ready.
- If you have an Apple Watch, unpair it from your old phone.
Transfer your data (courtesy of Apple)
- Choose a time when you will not need to use both your old and new devices. The process may take a little while.
- Make sure that your current device is connected to Wi-Fi and Bluetooth is on. Turn on your new device and place it near your current device. Follow the onscreen instructions to get started. If the prompt to set up your new device disappears from your current device, restart both devices.
- Connect your device to Wi-Fi or your device’s cellular network.
- You might be asked to activate your cellular service.
- Set up Face ID or Touch ID.
- Choose how you want to transfer your data.
- If you download from iCloud, your apps and data download in the background so that you can start using your new device right away.
- If you transfer directly from your previous device, you’ll need to wait for the transfer to complete on both devices before you can use them.
- Keep your devices near each other and plugged in to power until the data migration process is complete. Transfer times can vary based on factors such as network conditions and the amount of data being transferred.
Moving data from your old Android device to a new one
Transferring your important information between two Android devices is just as simple. Here’s how to transfer your data from an older Android phone a newer one (courtesy of Google):
Before you begin:
- Charge both devices.
- Make sure you can unlock the old device with a PIN, pattern, or password.
- On your old device, Sign in with your Google Account.
- Backup your data.
- Ensure your device is connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Now, transfer your data:
- Turn on your new device.
- Tap Start. If “Start” doesn’t display, you can copy your data manually.
- When asked, make sure you connect to a Wi-Fi network.
- Choose to copy apps and data from your old device.
- If you have a cable to connect your devices, follow the on-screen instructions to copy your data.
- If you don’t have a cable:
- Tap No cable? Ok.
- Tap A backup from an Android phone.
- To copy your data, follow the on-screen instructions.
How to transfer your data from iOS to Android — or Android to iOS
Some new and existing CREDO members sometimes make the switch from Android to a new iPhone, or vice-versa. While transferring data to a new operating system isn’t difficult, it does involve a few extra steps.
That’s why we have a separate blog post to walk you through this painless migration. Check out our previous post “How to migrate your phone’s data from Android to Apple iOS — and back.”

Win Without War is leading a movement to put people and the planet over war and profit, thanks to CREDO members
Our long-time grantee partners at Win Without War are at the forefront of a national movement to build a more progressive and just U.S. foreign policy that values people and the planet over war and profit.
In June 2022, CREDO members voted to donate $31,267 to help Win Without War push back on the war hawks and weapons contractors and grow our power to ensure true safety and security — for everyone, everywhere. Since 2017, CREDO and our members have donated $185,155 to the organization.
Powered in part by the generosity of CREDO and our members, Win Without War had some recent victories and launched some great new initiatives. Here’s a quick rundown from the organization:
Recent Victories
During the House vote on the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) last summer, 151 members of Congress voted to lop off $37 billion off the Pentagon budget. It’s a level of congressional support for cutting the Pentagon budget that just a few years ago would have been unthinkable — and it’s an unmistakable mile-marker that the era of unchecked, limitless Pentagon spending is coming to an end.
Win Without War activists also helped push back on a behind-the-scenes weapons lobby effort urging Congress to adjust already-signed, fixed-price contracts as part of “inflation relief” last fall. The organization made it clear that it’s our communities that need relief the most — not profit hungry weapons contractors.
As part of its NDAA work, Win Without War also successfully helped block millions of dollars for dangerous, unnecessary nukes: the B83 megaton bomb, a weapon 80 times more powerful than the bomb the United States dropped on Hiroshima during World War II.
New Initiatives
In the wake of the Supreme Court decision overturning Roe v. Wade last summer, Win Without War deepened its work to support reproductive rights. As part of that response, it ramped up efforts to repeal the Helms amendment, a law which effectively bans U.S. international funding for abortion-related activities — without exception. It is another reminder of the disastrous ways U.S. foreign policy negatively impacts peoples’ lives across the globe.
Throughout the fall the organization ran ads in support of the campaign, and when the Senate returned to DC after the August recess, Win Without War welcomed them back with a mobile billboard proclaiming a clear message: Abortion is STILL health care, everywhere.
Finally, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the U.S. invasion of Iraq in October, Win Without War organized and led a webinar entitled “Breaking Down the Building Blocks of Endless War: Opportunities and Obstacles in 2022 and Beyond“ where Representative Barbara Lee and leading experts from across the movement discussed how we can finally tear up the Iraq war authorization — a key blank check for endless war.

Putting Refugee Girls and Women First with The Women’s Refugee Commission
Note from the CREDO team: This January, The Women’s Refugee Commission is among three amazing groups that will receive a share of our monthly grant. Funding from the CREDO community will allow WRC to be more flexible, responsive, and relevant, especially in new and emerging crises where our expertise can help shape a gender-transformative response in real-time.
Read this important blog post about the organization’s critical work, then click here to visit CREDODonations.com to cast your vote to help determine how we distribute our monthly grant to this organization and our other amazing grantees this January.
From Afghanistan to Ukraine, from Ethiopia to Myanmar, more than 100 million people have been forced to flee, leaving behind their homes, their livelihoods, their dreams. Their very basic safety and security have been destroyed by violence, persecution, and human rights violations.
Yet, displaced people are resilient. They are survivors. Given the resources and support they need, they can rebuild their lives and thrive.
For more than 30 years, the Women’s Refugee Commission has worked to ensure that the inalienable rights and the needs of women, children, and young people displaced by conflict and disasters are prioritized in humanitarian response programs.
Before then, refugee women and children were all but invisible. The Women’s Refugee Commission set about to change that. We were the first organization to sit down with refugee women and ask them what they needed, what solutions they proposed. The feedback they shared formed the basis of our advocacy, and continues to do so today.
Our groundbreaking advocacy and research to advance gender equality and resilience have led to transformative changes in the response to conflicts and disasters. As a result, refugee women and young people now have greater access to sexual and reproductive health care from the very onset of an emergency. They are more likely to find safe, dignified work to support themselves and their families. Preventing and responding to sexual and gender-based violence, which is known to increase during conflict and crises, is now on the international agenda. Our pioneering study on child marriage in humanitarian settings provided the most robust evidence to date of the magnitude and the drivers of this violation of human rights. And our advocacy has been instrumental for people seeking asylum in the United States, including helping to reunite parents and children torn apart by the Trump administration’s family separation policy.
Underlying all our work to advance gender equality is a focus on affirming women’s agency and leadership, building self-reliance, and fostering inclusion of the voices of women, men, and young people in all their diversity, including displaced people with disabilities, LGBTQI+ individuals, and older people, in decision-making. Our advocacy and research, and the practical training materials we have developed, have strengthened community resilience, bolstered efforts to engage local and national organizations in all phases of humanitarian action, and created the tools that promote greater economic and social justice for the most marginalized groups, working to level the playing field for everyone.
The Women’s Refugee Commission also plays an important convening role. We engage and partner with local and national organizations, humanitarian agencies, donors, and displaced people themselves to create a better world for refugees.
As conflict, COVID, and the climate crisis converge, and the needs of refugees have reached a historic high, the Women’s Refugee Commission’s focus on combining our powers of advocacy and research to achieve more sustainable and transformative humanitarian responses has never been more relevant or needed.
We remain committed to fighting for gender equality for displaced women and girls, and to leading a shift in humanitarian response—one that leverages refugees’ resilience and agency and helps them realize their fullest potential. Learn more about us at womensrefugeecommission.org.

How Equal Rights Advocates Is Advancing Gender Justice Across the Country
Note from the CREDO team: This January, Equal Rights Advocates is among three amazing groups that will receive a share of our monthly grant. Funding from the CREDO community will enable ERA to provide free legal help to more students and workers challenging discrimination, harassment, and gender-based violence, as well as fuel bold policy reforms advancing gender, racial and economic justice.
Read this important blog post about the organization’s critical work, then click here to visit CREDODonations.com to cast your vote to help determine how we distribute our monthly grant to this organization and our other amazing grantees this January.
Equal Rights Advocates fights for gender justice in workplaces and schools. Since 1974, we’ve protected and advanced rights and opportunities for women, girls, and people of all gender identities with free legal services, bold legislation, and community advocacy.
We believe our country’s most pressing challenges — poverty, violence, discrimination — will be solved by transforming our communities into places where every woman and girl can lead. We envision a world where work and school are guaranteed places of safety and promise; where every student can grow to their fullest potential; where everyone has the economic security they need to care for themselves, their families, and their communities.
ERA leverages a unique multi-pronged approach to challenging systemic injustice, with each of our key strategies – from impact litigation to direct legal services to policy advocacy to community research and mobilization – informing and enhancing one another. Here’s how we’re leading change for gender justice and equality in 2023 and beyond:
ERA’s Strategy
When it comes to gender justice, we leave no stone unturned. We enforce civil rights laws in court, fight to end sexual assault and sexual harassment in our schools and workplaces, provide free legal counseling and advice to those who need it, and partner with other advocacy organizations to ensure we’re addressing the most pressing social justice issues impacting each of our communities.
Equity in Schools
From gender stereotyping in the classroom, to epidemic levels of sexual assault on college campuses, ERA fights alongside students, providing free legal help to protect their civil rights and access to education. We have students’ backs, and we have for nearly 50 years. Learn more. Our key education equity programs include:
Ending Sexual Violence in Education Initiative: ERA’s Initiative to End Sexual Violence in Education (ESVE) helps students find support and seek justice when sexual assault or harassment threatens to disrupt their education, including through self-help resources that many students are more likely to consult before talking to an adult/school official, such as our first-of-its-kind Student Survivor Toolkit. As part of this initiative, we launched the nation’s first network of pro bono attorneys dedicated to helping college student survivors. We train and support these volunteer lawyers, known as ENOUGH Advocates, to help student survivors learn their legal rights, figure out their school’s complaint and investigation policies, and weigh their options in the wake of sexual assault or harassment.
Workplace & Economic Justice
Everyone deserves access to good jobs and fair treatment at work. When employers break the law, we hold them accountable, providing free legal help and representation to workers who need it most, and taking on big cases that make workplaces fairer and safer for everyone. We also work with high-road employers to develop best practices, creating the standard for entire industries. Learn more. Our key workplace & economic justice programs include:
Family Voices Amplified: We conducted groundbreaking research in 16 cities across the country – asking Black and Latinx mothers about their needs and priorities two years into the COVID-19 crisis. Through surveys and kitchen table conversations, we learned the top priorities Black and Latinx moms need in the years ahead: affordable child care, equitable work, and fair access to generational wealth building assets. Now is the time to deliver on that agenda by leading legislation and policy work and partnering with lawmakers to create significant change. Learn more.
Equal Pay Today Initiative: We have been fighting for equal pay for nearly 50 years at the state and federal levels, and across industries. Our work includes the Equal Pay Today campaign, which we co-founded with partners across the country to close the wage gap that most harms women of color and low-paid working women. Every year, we lead digital awareness raising on Equal Pay Days for women of color: Black Women’s Equal Pay Day, Native Women’s Equal Pay Day, Latina Equal Pay Day, and more. We challenge the legal, policy, and cultural barriers that have allowed the gender wage gap to persist, recognizing that pay discrimination is not a single-issue struggle. That is why we work to also address occupational segregation, pay secrecy, pregnancy and caregiver discrimination, a lack of access to paid leave, wage theft, and an unlivable federal minimum wage.
Stronger California Initiative: The Stronger California Advocates Network is a collaborative campaign of 65+ advocacy groups and coalitions from across California. ERA co-founded and chairs this cross-sector network, and together, we have driven groundbreaking reforms to help Californians combat poverty and build assets, achieve workplace justice and family-friendly workplaces, and expand access to affordable, quality child care. Since 2015, the Stronger California Network has worked with the Legislative Women’s Caucus and lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to pass bills advancing economic and civil rights for women and families across the state. With bills that are being replicated across the country, including the nation’s strongest laws combating sexual harassment and pay discrimination, we are setting the pace for the nation. View our 2022 Stronger California legislative wins, featuring new rights for workers across the state.
Together – working across these strategies – we’re building a world of true gender justice, where everyone has equal opportunity to thrive. Please visit https://www.equalrights.org/ to learn more and join the movement for gender justice.

New Year’s Resolution for 2023: Using your wallet as a force for good
It’s that time of year when we resolve to eat better, workout more, spend more time with family, manage our time more efficiently and a lot more.
But when it comes to New Year’s Resolutions, we here at CREDO believe we can make one of the most positive impacts for ourselves and our planet by using our wallets as a force for good.
More than 35 years ago, we went into business to help consumers spend their hard-earned money with a brand that shared their values — and many companies have since followed.
So how can we spend our money with companies that align with our values? We’ll share a few ways in this week’s tip.
Here’s an incredible statistic: A recent Harris poll found that a stunning 82% of consumers want a brand’s values to align with their own.
We’re not surprised in the least. Back in 1985, we knew then that consumers wanted to spend their money with a company that shared their values as an alternative to big corporations that may be destroying the planet, funding conservative causes, or treating their workers poorly.
Since then, we’ve donated over $94 million to organizations fighting for economic justice, civil rights, climate justice and more — and our model of progressive philanthropy has clearly stood the test of time, thanks to our incredible CREDO members.
Obviously, CREDO isn’t the only brand doing good in the world. Patagonia and Ben & Jerry’s — sure! Fox News, AT&T, Exxon, Koch Industries — not so much. But how can you determine if other companies share your progressive values — and how do you avoid those that don’t?
Here are a few questions you can ask yourself:
- What kind of products or services does the company sell?
- Does the company pay a fair or living wage to its workers? Has the company been accused of unfair labor practices or union busting?
- Does the company make donations to organizations that align with your values? Or does the company donate to conservative causes and politicians that you disagree with?
- Does the company speak out AND take action publicly about important social issues? For example: Has the company taken steps to protect workers in states with anti-abortion laws?
- Does the company use its business practices and revenue to actively combat the climate crisis?
These questions are just the beginning, but you get the idea.
Next, it’s good to conduct some simple research into the companies that you want to do business with, too. Here are some resources to get started:
- OpenSecrets is an incredible clearinghouse that tracks campaign contributions, lobbying data and money in politics. You can look up which industries, corporations, individuals and employees have donated to candidates, political action committees and other political organizations.
- Subscribe to Judd Legum’s Popular Information newsletter. Judd, who we interviewed in 2021 about his work uncovering AT&T’s donations to conservative causes, has been shining a light on corporate bad actors and holding companies accountable that don’t act in our best interests.
- Google News. This may seem obvious, but if a company has recently come under scrutiny for bad business practices — or praised for doing good! — you’ll probably find it in recent news articles. Just be discerning when a company is getting credit for, say, donating a large sum of money to a charity or launching a new sustainability initiative. It could be a public relations stunt.
If you aren’t yet a CREDO Mobile customer — but you want to do good by your cellular provider — check out our history, mission, who we fund, and how you can vote to help us distribute this month’s grant to three non-profit organizations. You can even check out the profile of our now-defunct Super PAC on OpenSecrets which helped take down some of the most conservative members of Congress in 2012.

How SAGE is improving the lives of LGBTQ+ elders
Note from the CREDO team: This January, SAGE is among three amazing groups that will receive a share of our monthly grant. Funding from the CREDO community will help SAGE to continue to innovate as it fights for LGBTQ+ and age-friendly policies and communities and create ties across generations.
Read this important blog post about the organization’s critical work, then click here to visit CREDODonations.com to cast your vote to help determine how we distribute our monthly grant to this organization and our other amazing grantees this January.
The start of a new year often offers the opportunity for a clean slate. However, as we look at our community, we must remember that some of us don’t have that opportunity. LGBTQ+ elders – the people who have paved the way for the rights and opportunities we have as LGBTQ+ people – are facing an unprecedented moment of crisis.
It’s a crisis caused by the exploding number of older people in our country who are liberated enough to come out and live their lives proudly as LGBTQ+ people. A crisis caused by severe isolation and loneliness made much worse by the COVID-19 pandemic. By much higher poverty levels and health problems than older Americans in general. And a crisis made much worse because our elders face widespread and rising discrimination and racism and anti-Semitism, and often don’t get the support they need.
I’m talking about the older lesbian who called my office during the worst days of COVID to say that the only live human voice she hears each week is when her SAGE volunteer calls to check in on her. I’m talking about the transgender woman of color who is an elder icon to her community but must line up every week at SAGE’s pantry program because without the groceries we offer, she wouldn’t have enough to eat. I’m talking about the elderly gay man who watched all of his friends die during the AIDS epidemic and is growing old alone. And I’m talking about the transgender man in a nursing home in Iowa who repeatedly was disrespected and felt discriminated against until SAGE came in to train the facility’s staff.
Working with our elders to address this crisis is why SAGE exists. And to meet this moment of crisis, SAGE has spent the past year doing everything possible to make a daily difference for our community’s elders.
But we’ve also been doing more. We’ve been forging a bold new direction for our organization’s work that truly meets the moment – big enough and transformative enough to rise to the occasion and overcome this crisis so our elders can live the lives they deserve. No matter who they are, where they live, or what they need.
Under this bold new plan, SAGE will be:
- Evolving to build momentum and scale our impact. That means more programs, more services. More reach.
- Reimagining how SAGE operates and moves through the world to get even more done for our elders.
- Expanding with two new special divisions – one for our NYC programs and another for our cutting-edge social enterprises – with a new model for partnerships, and with a path-breaking new SAGE Center of Excellence.
- Including more LGBTQ+ elders from all communities – more trans elders; more Black, Indigenous, and People of Color elders; and more elders from rural areas – to expand equity and representation.
- Innovating by building sustainable financing for essential SAGE programs to control our destinies and take care of our own.
While these are exciting new strategic directions for our work, our mission remains proudly the same. At the end of the day, SAGE is about making sure that every older member of our community doesn’t just survive but thrives as they age.
I hope SAGE’s bold new direction is as exciting for you as it is for me and the SAGE team. I hope you can see and feel how this will meet the moment for our community’s elders. Because at the end of the day, we must take care of our own so they can age like the heroes they are. They paved the way for the rest of us because of their resilience and determination to live as their authentic selves.
And a community that takes care of its own is who we are and what we do. You can learn more about SAGE’s work at sageusa.org.
