The American Library Association explains how to use Mobile Commons, a new and interactive advocacy tool that can be used with mobile phones. Each month, subscribers will receive an estimated 2 to 3 text message action alerts from ALA’s Office of Government Relations. The messages will give subscribers talking points on a specific, timely issue, and then offer the option of automatically making a toll-free call to the offices of their legislators.
