- The company is Working Assets Long Distance (1-800-788-0898). They
- donate a small percentage of their revenue to various social/activist
- organizations. About two weeks ago they put out a ballot asking
- subscribers to choose the organizations for the coming year. There were
- several gay-friendly or gay-related organizations on the list.
