Targets

AT&T

AT&T is a major U.S. telecommunications company providing wireless, broadband, and media services to millions of American consumers and businesses.

Why this is a target

AT&T's massive consumer subscriber base makes it highly vulnerable to boycott pressure. Consumers can switch carriers, and AT&T's brand awareness makes public campaigns effective. Its history of warrantless data sharing with government makes the surveillance-to-deportation narrative credible and well-documented.

Alternatives

T-Mobile (has publicly committed to LGBTQ+ and diversity initiatives; no known ICE/deportation contracts as of 2024) Mint Mobile (runs on T-Mobile network; lower cost prepaid option with no major deportation-related contracts) Consumer Cellular (independent MVNO; no known government detention or deportation contracts; AARP-partnered for affordability) Ting Mobile (runs on T-Mobile/Verizon networks; owned by DISH; smaller footprint with no known ICE contracts) US Mobile (small independent MVNO; flexible plans; no known government detention contracts) Credo Mobile (progressive MVNO; donates to human rights and civil liberties nonprofits; explicitly markets itself as values-aligned; runs on T-Mobile network) Coop Mobile / local cooperative telecoms (where available; community-owned broadband and wireless co-ops prioritize community benefit over government contracts) Community broadband networks (municipal or cooperative ISPs such as those in Chattanooga, TN or Burlington, VT for home internet; not beholden to federal detention contracts)

Pledges you can make

I pledge to delete the at&t app from your phone easy

Removing the AT&T app reduces engagement data and signals disengagement. It takes less than a minute and costs nothing.

I pledge to cancel your directv or at&t tv subscription medium

DirecTV and AT&T TV are major consumer revenue streams. Cancelling a video subscription directly cuts into AT&T's pay-TV business, which the company has been trying to stabilize.

I pledge to downgrade your at&t wireless plan to the lowest available tier medium

Downgrading from a premium to a basic wireless plan reduces AT&T's average revenue per user (ARPU), a key metric investors and executives track closely.

I pledge to cancel your at&t internet or fiber service and switch to a competitor medium

AT&T Fiber is one of the company's fastest-growing revenue segments. Switching to a competing ISP directly undermines this growth area and forces AT&T to compete harder on price and service quality.

I pledge to switch your wireless service from at&t to a competing carrier hard

Wireless is AT&T's single largest consumer revenue source. Porting your number to a competitor like T-Mobile, Verizon, or a smaller MVNO delivers the most direct financial impact and is tracked as subscriber churn.

I pledge to cancel your at&t home phone or bundled landline service hard

Though declining, AT&T still earns revenue from legacy home phone and bundled services. Cancelling a landline or bundle removes recurring revenue and may pressure the company to reassess pricing and service practices.
