Program at a glance
STOP, END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT at any time.HELP, or email info@theaipn.org.1. How to opt in
You may opt in to receive AIPN Voter Education Alerts by submitting our SMS opt-in form, where you provide your name, mobile phone number, and ZIP code, and explicitly check a box confirming your consent. You may also opt in at in-person events by signing a written consent form.
By opting in, you authorize AIPN to send you recurring autodialed or prerecorded marketing, informational, and action-alert text messages at the mobile number you provided. Consent is not a condition of any purchase or donation.
2. Message frequency
Message frequency varies and is driven by your interaction with the program, the pace of legislative activity, election cycles, and breaking news. Some weeks you may receive several messages; other weeks you may receive none. If you reply to our messages or engage with action alerts, you may receive follow-up messages in response. You can stop messages at any time by replying STOP (see Section 4).
3. Costs
Message and data rates may apply. AIPN does not charge for messages, but your mobile carrier may charge you according to your plan (for example, for SMS or data usage). Contact your carrier for details about your specific plan.
4. How to opt out (STOP)
You can cancel the SMS program at any time. Text the single keyword STOP to any message you receive from us. After you send the STOP keyword, we will send you a final message confirming that you have been unsubscribed. After that, you will no longer receive messages from AIPN. You can also text us the words END, CANCEL, UNSUBSCRIBE, or QUIT to opt out. If you want to rejoin, sign up again as described in Section 1.
5. How to get help (HELP)
If you are experiencing issues with the messaging program, reply with the keyword HELP to any message, and we will respond with instructions on how to use our service and how to unsubscribe. You can also email us at info@theaipn.org.
