Summary

Twilio has launched WePledge, a global movement for social impact, which aims to accelerate digital engagement and responsibility during the COVID-19 pandemic. The initiative is open to individuals and companies, with Twilio as one of its founding partners. WePledge provides an easy way for people to pledge to do good, volunteer virtually, and amplify the community's impact. Companies that join WePledge receive resources and support to launch their own social impact programs, which have proven to drive positive change at scale. The movement is also aligned with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals, focusing on global challenges such as poverty, hunger, well-being, climate change, justice, and education. Individuals can take the pledge by visiting wepledge.org or texting PLEDGE to 44663, with the first 10,000 eligible individuals receiving an opportunity to designate $100 to a selected organization.
