If one of AT&T or Verizon join us in our commitment by June 1st, we’ll double the total to $1 million. And if both join us? We’ll triple it! That’s $1.5 million dedicated to push forward clean energy. After all, that’s what T-Mobile does: Change Wireless for Good! While the duopoly may not listen to us, they *might* listen to the will of the people. We’re asking everyone with a passion for clean energy and a healthy planet to make their voice heard. - Go to the Green America “Hang Up on Fossil Fuels” [campaign page](http://action.greenamerica.org/p/dia/action4/common/public/?action_KEY=21033) and let Randall @ AT&T and Lowell @ Verizon know that they should match T-Mobile’s commitment. - Flood the @AT&T and @Verizon social media accounts with demands that they join T-Mobile to #CleanUpWireless Changing wireless for the good goes beyond abolishing long-held industry norms like overage penalties, exorbitant international data roaming and ever-increasing taxes & fees. It’s about changing __all__ of wireless. To make real, impactful change, we need the wireless industry to join our commitment and that starts with the Duopoly. __John Legere quotes:__ - “Our mission is changing wireless for good – ALL of wireless.” - “We’re going to drag the other guys kicking and screaming into the clean power future… like we have with every other major change in wireless over the last five years.” - “You know they love to ignore me, but they can’t ignore the powerful masses!” - “If we get loud enough, we may actually be able to force the Duopoly to do something good…Something that benefits more than just their wallets – something that future generations can thank us for.” __Additional Assets:__  <iframe width="560" height="315" src="[https://www.youtube.com/embed/XJgTB4afPvI](https://www.youtube.com/embed/XJgTB4afPvI)" frameborder="0" allow="autoplay; encrypted-media" allowfullscreen></iframe> Tags[Giving Back](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/archive/giving-back) ## Related Stories [More Stories](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/stories) [ \ CommunityPress Release \ __Introducing the Next Generation of Innovators: T-Mobile and the T-Mobile Foundation Announce 2021 Changemaker Challenge Winners__ \ June 03, 2021|6 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/changemaker-challenge-2021-winners) [ \ CommunityStory \ __Five Ways Forests Benefit People and Our Planet__ \ April 22, 2021|5 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/earth-day-2021) [ \ Un-carrierPress Release \ __T-Mobile Completes Merger with Sprint to Create the New T-Mobile__ \ April 01, 2020|15 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/un-carrier/t-mobile-sprint-one-company) [ \ CommunityPress Release \ __Thank a Helper, Be a Helper with #GiveThanksNotPranks__ \ March 31, 2020|5 min read](https://www.t-mobile.com/news/community/give-thanks-not-pranks)
