SMS Terms
Last updated Oct 29, 2026
These terms cover NoirUnited Alerts, our text messages. Signing up is optional. Consent to receive texts is not a condition of membership or of any donation.
The program
NoirUnited Alerts is the text message program of NoirUnited International, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit. When you sign up you get action alerts (for example, when a bill or vote needs your voice), reminders before our events, and short updates on our work.
How you join
You join by entering your mobile number on our Connect page and ticking the consent box. We send one confirmation text when you join. We only text numbers that have signed up this way.
How often we text
About 4 messages a month. It can be a little more around urgent action alerts or events. We text between 9 a.m. and 8 p.m. in your local time.
Cost
NoirUnited never charges for texts. Msg and data rates may apply, depending on your mobile plan.
How to stop
Reply STOP to any message to cancel. You get one final text confirming you are unsubscribed, and no more texts after that. To join again, reply START or sign up again on our Connect page.
Help
Reply HELP to any message for help, or email info@noirunited.org.
How we use your number
We use your number only to send NoirUnited Alerts and to keep a record of your consent and any opt-out. A messaging provider sends the texts on our behalf. We never sell your number, and we do not share mobile numbers or text message consent with third parties or affiliates for their marketing purposes.
