My name is not Jane. I need to keep my real name secret because the man who abused me can't know where I am -- I fear for my safety. But when I was leaving him and needed to get him off the cell phone contract we shared, Sprint put my safety at risk.
The man who abused me is the father of my son. When our baby was just four months old, he watched as his father strangled me and threatened to stomp on my head with steel-toed boots. I left and got a restraining order the next day.
But at a time when I had no job, no steady place to live, and feared for my life and the life of my little one, Sprint refused to let me get my abuser off my cell phone contract unless I paid them $200 -- even though the contract was in my name. I had no money, and the man who threatened to kill me could track exactly who I was calling and when.
I was inspired when I saw that another woman started a petition on Change.org asking Verizon to end contract cancellation fees for victims of domestic violence -- and she won. So I started my own petition asking Sprint to do the same. Click here to add your name.
When I signed the petition asking Verizon to drop cancellation fees for victims of domestic violence, I was shocked how many other people who signed shared awful stories about Sprint. One woman wrote about how Sprint made her meet her abusive ex-boyfriend in person at the Sprint store before they'd let her cancel her contract.
As for me, I'm still so afraid of my abuser that I can't even use my real name. But this issue is so important for women like me fighting for their lives, I knew I had to do something.
Cindy's petition to Verizon made me realize that I am not alone. If she can get Verizon to change its policies to prioritize the safety of victims of domestic violence, there's no reason Sprint can't do the same. I know that if enough people sign my petition, Sprint will do the right thing, too.

Dear Jane:
You are lucky to have a similar problem women all over the world have. For many of us, there is no where to hide when law enforcement decides to continue to target and abuse us. They are powerful, have all the resources to gather and track us down. They use third parties to spread their hatred non-stop until they have seized all property. The Courts won't give relief. Christian people won't give relief. And, the community could careless wanting only to please law enforcement for whatever their agenda is worth. To feel what I feel, just watch the following video.
