That phrase takes on a chilling urgency for some women living under the shadow of domestic violence. Call to Protect, a national program, refurbishes old, obsolete call phones which are then distributed to women living in domestic violence situations. The cell phones are donated by both businesses and individuals. Once re furbished, the phones are pre-programmed with numbers that could save a woman's life when abuse esca lates. The air time is free. Call to Protect started in 1996 as a joint venture between the National Coa lition Against Domestic Violence, Motorola, the Wireless Foundation and telecommunications carriers. Phone donations are tax deductible. The program's website at http: www.calltoprotect.org, offers informa tion about the program and tells eli gible organizations how they can apply to receive phones.
