Podcasts about robocalling

Does your nonprofit want to build power and amplify its impact by engaging in robocalling and texting campaigns? Would it surprise you to find out that while this type of advocacy can effectively boost your reach and put you in touch with thousands (even millions) of supporters, it also comes with rules related to opt-out requirements, mandatory disclaimers, prior consent, and more? On this episode, we'll introduce you to our new Robocalling guide and walk through several of the issues your nonprofit needs to think about before you pick up the phone or click send on a robocall or robotext campaign.     Attorneys for this Episode  Monika Graham  Melissa Marichal Zayas  Natalie Ossenfort    Robotext and Robocall Campaigns  Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Federal Trade Commission (FTC), and Federal Election Commission (FEC) each regulate robocalls and robotexts  For example, the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA), enforced by the FCC, strictly limits when organizations can make robocalls and robotexts. Violations of TCPA can result in stiff fines, so know the rules before you launch your next campaign.  Keep in mind that many states also have their own rules on these communication methods.  Federal Restrictions on Robocalls / Robotexts  What are robocalls and robotexts? Calls or texts made with an autodialer or using an artificial or pre-recorded voice.   Under federal law (the TCPA), a nonprofit organization must obtain an individual's “prior express consent” to: (a) send a call or text to a cell phone using an autodialer, a prerecorded voice, or an artificial voice, or (b) to send more than three prerecorded or artificial voice calls to a landline in a 30-day period.  Express consent requires:  The person gave permission to be contacted at their cell phone number.  The call is within the scope of the consent given.  The person hasn't revoked their consent.  Prior express consent is not the only consideration you need to think about before engaging in robocall or robotext campaigns. Identification, opt-out, and disclaimer requirements are going to be relevant too.  For example, federal law requires that all pre-recorded voice telephone messages to cell phones or landlines must include a specific identification disclaimer. Disclaimer must:  Clearly state at the beginning of the message the official registered name of the organization initiating the call, and  The telephone number of the organization (not the number of the vendor who placed the call, a 900 number, or a number for which charges exceed normal local or long-distance transmission charges).  Disclaimers may also be required if a non 501(c)(3) organization expressly advocates for or against a federal candidate or solicits contributions in relation to a federal election --> triggering federal campaign finance law, which is enforced by the FEC.  This type of disclaimer should not apply to 501(c)(3)s which are prohibited by the Internal Revenue Code from supporting or opposing candidates for public office.  Likewise, the IRS may require a disclaimer if fundraising solicitations are made by non-501(c)(3)s reminding the potential donor that contributions are not tax deductible.    Remember: State Law Matters Too!  Many states restrict certain types of calls, like robocalls. When they do, they often apply to both cell phones and landlines.  In many instances, state laws are similar to the federal rules, but variations between state and federal law do exist, and some states restrict calls that would otherwise be allowed under federal law.  Consult with counsel before launching your campaign because common state law requirements include:  Notification or self-identification requirements  Time restrictions  Geographic limits  Permit requirements  Prohibitions on caller ID blockers  And more!  State law may also require lobbyist or campaign finance registration and reporting in some instances.    FAQ New Robocalling guide contains a handy FAQ, where you can find answers to common questions like:  What are the best ways to collect cell phone numbers for these types of campaigns?  Are landlines treated differently than cell phones?  What happens when a cell phone number is reassigned to someone other than the person who provided consent?    Resources  Robocalling Rules: Before You Pick Up the Phone, Hold That Call. What You Need to Know about Robocalls, Robotexts, and Autodialers 

It's officially 2025, and nonprofits across the country are diligently preparing for upcoming legislative sessions, a presidential transition, and other critical advocacy initiatives. The Alliance for Justice Bolder Advocacy team is here to help when questions arise about nonprofits' ability to engage with government officials and pursue policy change. In the meantime, we've also compiled a list of our Top 10 nonprofit New Year's resolutions to help your organization ready itself for 2025 and beyond.    Attorneys for this Episode  Monika Graham  Victor Rivera Labiosa  Natalie Roetzel Ossenfort     Level-up Your Social Justice Advocacy  Check out our new Advocacy Playbook series for an overview of the laws and regulations that apply to 501(c)(3) public charities when they engage in lobbying and election season advocacy.   Resources designed specifically for advocates working in key issue areas:  Environmental Justice  Criminal Legal Reform  Gender and Reproductive Justice  Labor and Economic Justice  LGBTQ+ and HIV Communities  Health and Disability Rights  Racial Justice and Immigrant Rights  Democracy and Voting Rights    Conduct an Advocacy Check-up  Our new Advocacy Check-Up: Nonprofit Self-Assessment is designed to help your 501(c)(3) public charity assess its overall compliance with federal and state advocacy-related tracking and reporting requirements and to identify opportunities for you to build your organization's advocacy capacity.   The goal is to ensure that your nonprofit is aware of the opportunities for advocacy allowed by the tax and election laws that govern lobbying and election-related activity by tax-exempt organizations.    Brush-Up on State Law with Bolder Advocacy's Practical Guidance Series  Lobbying: Working to impact legislative or executive branch policy at the state-level?

Your organization can help ensure the appointment of individuals whose values align with your mission and the needs of the communities you serve.  Keep in mind that advocating for or against nominees that require a legislative body to confirm the nomination is generally considered lobbying. On the other hand, making recommendations for positions that do not require legislative approval is not lobbying for tax code purposes.    Be Prepared to Defend Your Nonprofit and Its Work  Ensure that your legal house is in order by conducting an advocacy check-up (see Resolution #2).  Prepare and train your staff and volunteers in how to respond to potential threats that may arise in-person and through social media.  Assess your online systems for potential gaps in cyber security.  Check out our factsheet: Tips for Nonprofits: Preparing for the Possibility of a Politically Motivated Attack    Educate the Public about the Legislative Process. Introduce communities and  constituencies to the legislators who represent them. When community members  meet legislators face-to-face and discuss the issues that affect their everyday lives, not only do legislators receive the information they need to represent their communities, but those communities are empowered to invest more heavily in the outcomes of policy debates, giving them a stronger hand in their own future.  Conduct research and produce relevant resources that reflect the real story of your community and its needs.  Educate the community on the issues that matter most to your organization.  Host educational conference where people can gather, network, share information, and plan for the future.  Conduct leadership training to provide individuals with the skills needed to be spokespersons for potential policy reform.     Work Together. Join forces with other nonprofit organizations to maximize advocacy, share resources, and harness power in order to more effectively drive real and lasting policy change.  (Podcast) Working Together: Affiliation and Coalition Basics  (Guide) Coalition Checklist  (Guide) The Connection: Strategies for Creating 501(c)(3)s, 501(c)(4)s, and Political Organizations    Become an AFJ Member  The strength of Alliance for Justice is rooted in our membership of nearly 140 organizations that share a commitment to an equitable, just, and free society.   Throughout the 40+ years of AFJ's history, our members have been at the forefront of defending our communities' constitutional rights and building power across the progressive movement to fight for social justice.  Benefits include:  Priority access to Bolder Advocacy resources and special members-only training events  Free public webinar and on-demand webinar registration  Cutting edge research on judicial nominees  And more!  

Ongoing challenges and gains in the big battle on illegitimate robocalling, TNS Podcast,  The point is to enable a calling party who has a legitimate reason to contact a consumer to actually contact that consumer and get that consumer to be promoted or enhanced or encouraged to pick up the phone call and make the connection.” “What's the point of all this,” asks John Haraburda, Director of Product Management, of Transaction Network Services (TNS). The point is to enable a calling party who has a legitimate reason to contact a consumer to actually contact that consumer and get that consumer to be promoted or enhanced or encouraged to pick up the phone call and make the connection.” The long struggle to curb illegitimate robocalling has seen progress and victories, but the battle has left scars on the effectiveness of outbound calling, as a communications tool. Too many people are seeing legitimate inbound calls, as spam. In this podcast, we learn about a recent report TNS conducted on robocalling. We learn about trends and approaches to challenges. John also outlines the YNS approach. TNS Half Year 2024 Robocall Report: Smaller Carriers Increase Signed Call Traffic, But Interconnectivity Challenges Limit STIR/SHAKEN Gains Transaction Network Services (TNS) analyzes more than 1.5 billion daily call events across hundreds of carrier networks to identify current robocall trends and scams while supporting over 125 service providers in North America (including four out of the top seven U.S. carriers). TNS' latest Robocall Investigation Report found that while Tier-1 carriers have successfully implemented STIR/SHAKEN, smaller carriers still face connectivity challenges, leaving them vulnerable to AI-driven deepfake attacks and other scams. The Report found that although smaller carriers increased the total volume of signed call traffic in the first half of the year, there is a crucial transition period needed where carriers, regulators and telecom stakeholders must support smaller carriers' network capabilities. The Report also shares some of the top robocall scams in 2024, including tax, elder and cryptocurrency scams, with political disinformation spreading through AI-generated robocalls remaining a significant concern ahead of the 2024 election. About TNS TNS, a market leader in call identification and robocall mitigation, provides an end-to-end ecosystem for protecting and restoring trust in voice calling.

Begins with KYC register numbers, continues with active management. “What does it take to get to the next level,” asks Gerry Christensen, Head of Caller ID Reputation Partnerships and Expert in Communications Identity and Trust at Caller ID Reputation. When VoIP was first invented, it did not come with end-to-end caller identification.  The new technology offered what Gerry describes as a blessing and a curse: basically, unlimited cheap calling, but this also meant that the cost speed bump was removed for people calling for less than legitimate reasons. Can we return to the world of fifteen years ago, when people answered the phone? “That's where Caller Reputation comes in,” says Gerry. “We help ensure that the wanted business calls get through.” In this podcast, we learn how Caller ID Reputation begins with their client registering their phone numbers. “We monitor those numbers. And we manage and we remediate, where necessary.” Gerry explains that their process shows customers on What's happening, and then answer the question Why. Dashboard Caller ID Reputation offers customers a dashboard, proving real time status on numbers in use and offers clients guidance towards best practices. Clients get visibility, sound advice and help, essentially to restoring and maintaining the corporate reputation connected with their numbers and name. Partner Platform Gerry also discusses how these services could be a part of a diversified channel partner's portfolio. Visit www.calleridreputation.com

Fighting robocalls occurs at many levels “First and foremost, know your customer,” says Jim Brewer, Executive Vice President, Products and Technology of Peerless. In this podcast, Brewer, and Tony Hiller, Executive Vice President, Operations and Engineering discuss their approach to fighting robocalls. We learn that Peerless combines a mixture of technology and very proactive, personalized approaches to the fight. We learn that the company strives to make sure first bad actors don't try to slip over the fence, to become or posture, as a customer. Next Peerless uses its understanding of their customers, combined with various tactics, to find bad actors to efficiently limit cases and impacts. Brewer notes that STIR/SHAKEN is a valuable tool, which Peerless combines with several other tactics, including internal and third-party analytics. Hiller provides front line descriptions of how Peerless has helped customers that have been impacted. “It's a huge issue and its extremely complex to solve,” adds Hiller. Hiller notes that Peerless has implemented a multi-stage mitigation strategy within the Peerless network, a major undertaking that does not have to be duplicated. “We've done that, and our customers, as a result, don't have to.” Visit www.peerlessnetwork.com and www.infobip.com

Fight is a top company priority “We were one of the first to engage STIR/SHAKEN,” says John Barnicle, Peerless President & CEO of Peerless Network. Barnicle adds that the issue of fighting robocalling is on the top of his list as the head of Peerless. Even as Barnicle notes the rise of messaging as a key communication tool, preserving voice calling as a major communication resource, involves finding the right mix of dialing up, and dialing down countermeasures that enable legitimate traffic and block bad actors. “It is a constant battle and we do continue to invest heavily in it,” adds Barnicle. In this first of a two-part podcast series, Barnicle gives us an overview of the mitigation effort. Part 2 deals with a closer look at the technical efforts that are underway.

Last month the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued an Order in the ongoing robocalling proceeding and, unfortunately, it could spell trouble for enterprise customers engaged in any form of customer outreach by phone.  While the FCC’s intention may have been good, it was short-sighted and failed to clearly define the process carriers should use to distinguish between blocking illegal calls while letting the legitimate calls go through.  Listen to this 9 minute podcast as Sara Crifasi, a lawyer at LB3, and TC2’s Joe Schmidt discuss where the FCC came up short in the robocalling Order and why you, as an enterprise user, need to make your voice heard with the FCC.

Robocalling is a huge issue for all of us and continues to be the number-one complaint to the FCC and FTC. More than half the calls to all mobile phones in the US in 2019 will be robocalls. STIR-SHAKEN is a framework developed by the ATIS/SIP Forum NNI Task Force to reduce the number of illegally spoofed calls. FCC Chairman Ajit Pai has demanded that service providers begin implementing STIR-SHAKEN in 2019. Jamie's presentation at the conference provided an overview of STIR-SHAKEN, along with additional methods to mitigate the robocalling problem in your network. For more information, contact Jamie at jgibson@rbbn.com.
