Education Campaigns
Call For Action is a recognized leader in consumer education campaigns. By working with corporations and agencies to develop materials designed to arm consumers with the knowledge they need about the most pertinent scams and schemes, CFA’s partners in consumer education include CBM Credit Education Foundation, MCI, AT&T, VISA, MasterCard International, Experian, and IBM. These companies and others know that CFA works harder and smarter to communicate important messages and disseminate consumer materials nationwide.
One recent project, Identity Theft: Your Good Name Gone Bad, produced in cooperation with CBM Credit Education Foundation, Inc., and reprinted in partnership with VISA, discusses identity theft, how to protect against identity theft, and what to do if it happens. We have distributed nearly 5 million copies of the brochure. In addition, we produced two VNRs that were broadcast in over 60 markets and had nearly 7 million viewers. A dedicated 800 number directs victims to their local CFA office. The second phase of the project included printing and distributing 100,000 copies of the brochure in Spanish.

Famous quotes containing the words education and/or campaigns:
“If we help an educated man’s daughter to go to Cambridge are we not forcing her to think not about education but about war?—not how she can learn, but how she can fight in order that she might win the same advantages as her brothers?”
—Virginia Woolf (1882–1941)
“That food has always been, and will continue to be, the basis for one of our greater snobbisms does not explain the fact that the attitude toward the food choice of others is becoming more and more heatedly exclusive until it may well turn into one of those forms of bigotry against which gallant little committees are constantly planning campaigns in the cause of justice and decency.”
—Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
