Vote for Action for the Climate Emergency, People’s Action and Planned Parenthood Action Fund this January
Every month, CREDO members vote to distribute our monthly donation to three incredible progressive causes – and every vote makes a difference. This January, you can support climate justice, economic justice and reproductive rights by voting to fund Action for the Climate Emergency, People’s Action and Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
Action for the Climate Emergency
Each year, ACE educates millions of teens about the climate emergency through original media, supports its 750,000 youth members to participate fully in our democracy, and trains hundreds of youth climate organizers to end the era of fossil fuels.
Generous funding from CREDO members will support ACE to educate millions of teens about the climate emergency, support its 750,000 youth members with everything they need to cast their first ballot, and to train a new generation of climate leaders.
People’s Action
People’s Action is a grassroots-powered force for democracy and economic fairness. The organization uses issue campaigns and voting to put community over corporations, justice over racism, and people and planet over profits and polluters.
A grant from CREDO would help build power to move economic, climate, gender and racial justice policies; develop the leadership of thousands of grassroots leaders; and fight against white nationalist disinformation that threatens our democracy.
Planned Parenthood Action Fund
Planned Parenthood was founded over 100 years ago on the revolutionary idea that women have the right to access the information and care they need to live healthy lives. Today, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund fights to protect that right.
At this crisis point for abortion access, funding from CREDO members will help the Planned Parenthood Action Fund fight for reproductive health care and rights for all.
Your vote this month will determine how we divide our donation among these three progressive groups. Be sure to cast your vote to support one, two or all three by January 31.
CREDO members who use our products and services everyday are the reason we are able to make these donations each month. Learn more about CREDO Mobile and join our movement.

New phone? Here’s how to transfer all your data from your old smartphone to your new one
Did you get a brand new phone for the holidays — or have plans to buy one soon — but you’re not sure how to transfer all your photos, email, apps and other important data over to the new device?
You’re in luck — this week’s tip is just for you!
Whether you’re transferring your data from an old Android phone to a new device, an old iPhone or iPad to a brand new one, or even between iOS and Android, we’ll run through how to move your data and settings to a new device in just a few simple steps.
Moving data from an old iOS device to a new iPhone or iPad
Apple has made moving your data from one phone to another incredibly easy with a system called “Quick Start.” Here’s how to automatically move your important data to your new device.
Before you start:
- Have your Apple ID and password ready.
- If you have an Apple Watch, unpair it from your old phone.
- Make sure you have a backup of your old device before beginning. Here’s how to back up your phone.

- Choose a time when you will not need to use both your old and new devices. The process may take a little while.
- Plug in both devices; ensure your old phone is turned on. Place both devices near each other, and turn on your new device.
- A screen appears on your current device that offers the option of using your Apple ID to set up your new device. Make sure that it’s the Apple ID that you want to use, then tap Continue. If you don’t see the option to continue on your current device, make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.
- Wait for an animation to appear on your new device. Hold your current device over the new device, then center the animation in the viewfinder.
- Wait for a message that says Finish on New [Device]. If you can’t use your current device’s camera, tap Authenticate Manually, then follow the onscreen steps.
- When asked, enter your current device’s passcode on your new device. Then follow the instructions to set up Face ID or Touch ID on your new device.
- When you see the Transfer Data from [Device] screen, tap Continue to begin transferring your data from your previous device to your new device. Or you can tap Other Options to transfer apps, data, and settings from your most recent iCloud backup or transfer from a backup on your computer.
Quick note: This method is only available if your devices are running iOS 11 or later (Here’s how to check).
If you are unable or do not want to use Quick Start to move your data, you can also check out how to use iCloud or iTunes or Finder from Apple’s website
Moving data from your old Android device to a new one
Transferring your data from an old Android to a new one is just as easy. You will still need to backup your old phone, but the process to transfer your data is quite simple.
Before you begin:
- Charge both phones
- Double-check that you are able to unlock the old device
- On your old phone, go to Settings and sign in with your Google account.
- Backup your data: Go to Settings > System > Backup, then choose Backup Now > Continue. (Note that these instructions may be different depending on your device’s manufacturer)
Transfer your data (courtesy of Google)
- Turn on your new phone.
- Tap Start. If you don’t see “Start,” you can copy your data manually.
- When asked, choose to copy apps and data from your old phone.
- If you have a cable to connect your phones, follow the on-screen instructions to copy your data.
- If you don’t have a cable:
- Tap No cable? > Ok.
- Tap A backup from an Android phone.
- To copy your data, follow the on-screen instructions.
If you are having trouble, you can copy your data manually from one phone to the other. Here’s how.
How to transfer your data from iOS to Android — or Android to iOS
Some new and existing CREDO members sometimes make the switch from Android to a new iPhone, or vice-versa. While transferring data to a new operating system isn’t difficult, it does involve a few extra steps.
That’s why we have a separate blog post to walk you through this painless migration. Check out our previous post “How to migrate your phone’s data from Android to Apple iOS — and back.”

6 apps to help you keep your New Year’s resolutions
Happy New Year! As we say hello to 2022, it’s also time for many of us to make some New Year’s resolutions.
We also know it can be very challenging to keep those plans to exercise more, eat healthier, do good in the world or be a better steward of our planet. In fact, research shows that roughly 80% of people give up on their New Year’s resolutions by mid-February.
So how can we stay motivated for longer? There are many useful apps that can help keep you on your path this year, so we’ve curated a list of some of our favorites for you to try out. We hope you enjoy, and good luck on your journey in 2022!
Headspace — to manage stress and anxiety
As we enter another year of uncertainty and challenges, stress and anxiety can really start to take its toll on our mental health. That’s why it might be a good time to try out an app that can help manage our day-to-day stresses.
Headspace continues to be one of our favorite apps to help us cope with the stresses of work, family and life, especially during this prolonged pandemic. Headspace teaches you the basics of meditation and offers a library of courses and single session meditations that you can take anywhere. The company boasts a 40 million person user base and offers scientific claims — along with an in-house science department — that its app can reduce stress, increase focus and improve sleep.
Headspace offers a two-week free trial, before a $69.99 yearly subscription. Download the app from Google Play or the App Store.
Joyn — for body-positive fitness routines
If you’re looking to work out from home in the New Year and would like a body-positive experience, try Joyn, a no-cost, no-judgement fitness program that provides body-inclusive and body-neutral movement routines for all people. The site offers low-impact yoga, tai chi, stretching, pilates and other classes streaming in HD quality taught by instructors with a wide range of body types and backgrounds.
Joyn is completely free to join and use. The service doesn’t have its own standalone app, but the site is mobile-friendly; you can add the it to your smartphone’s home screen and stream to other devices via Airplay and Chromecast. Learn more and sign up here.
Strides — to track your goals & habits
If you’ve made one or more New Year’s resolutions — maybe to drink more water, eat healthier, or take up a new hobby — but you’re not sure how to keep track of it all, Strides could be the right app for you. Strides is a flexible goal tracking app with four unique tracker types that essentially lets you customize your habits and goals the way you see fit, whether that’s saving a little more money every month or keeping track of that new project you’ve been wanting to start.
Strides is free to use, but the small, self-funded team is happy to take donations. Right now, Strides is only available on iOS from the App Store.
Habitshare — share your goals & stick to your routines
As the pandemic continues, we’ve spent less time with friends — which can really take a toll on our motivation, especially if we’re trying to keep a New Year’s resolution. That’s where Habitshare can help us stay connected to friends and family while keeping our motivation high.
Habitshare helps you set and track goals and lets you share your progress with friends and a social network. This way, you and your friends remain accountable to each other and stay connected with your loved ones, which has been particularly difficult lately.
By default, your progress and habits remain private, but you can choose what and with whom to share your goals and updates to add personal accountability with friends and family.
Habitshare is free and available from Google Play and the App Store.
Coin Up — to give back to the causes you care about
If you’re a CREDO customer, you’re doing your part every day just by using our products and services — because we donate millions of dollars to the causes you care about, at no extra cost to you.
So what if you’ve resolved this year to do just a little bit more to help the organizations doing important work across the country and globe?
With the Coin Up app, you can choose your favorite charities to receive a rounded up donation every time you make a purchase. It’s that easy. Coin Up has partnered with hundreds of well-known non-profit groups working on hunger and poverty prevention, girl empowerment, childhood education and more. Check out the list of eligible groups here.
Download the app from Google Play or the App Store.
ShareTheMeal — to help fight world hunger
Roughly 9 percent of the world population — nearly 700 million people globally — go to bed hungry every night. So what if you could help fight world hunger directly from your smartphone?
With the ShareTheMeal app, you can “share your meal” with children experiencing hunger across the world. Developed at the United Nations World Food Programme, ShareTheMeal allows users to donate just $0.80 to help feed one child for a day, and with a subscription, you can join a community of tens of thousands of others who are sharing their experiences and receiving personalized updates from families that they’ve helped.
To date, ShareTheMeal has shared more than 133 million meals worldwide. To get started, download the app from Google Play or the App Store.

Don’t lose your photos and data. Here’s how to easily backup your phone
We all know it’s important to back up our devices. No one wants to lose years of photos, contacts, emails and all our other important data.
Unfortunately, accidents happen — we see it all the time — and years of memories and other data can become irretrievably lost. But who has the time to backup an entire phone?
Luckily, keeping your iPhone or Android device backed up is easier than ever before. So if you have a couple minutes of downtime over the holidays (yes, that’s all it takes!), check out our quick guide on how to easily backup your phone to the cloud.
Backing up your iPhone
There are a number of ways to backup your iPhone to safeguard your data, including over the internet to a cloud service or directly to your computer. The easiest method, by far, is backing up your device to Apple’s iCloud service.
Backing up your iOS device to iCloud
If you have an iPhone, iPad or other iOS device, Apple recommends using their iCloud service to backup your device. You probably already have an iCloud account, but if you’re not sure, visit this help article from Apple.
All iCloud accounts come with 5GB free data storage, although if you have a lot of photos, saved music or other data that exceed this limit, you may need to purchase more storage.
Backup iPhone manually
- Connect your phone to a WiFi network.
- On your iOS device, go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup
- Tap on Back Up Now.
Backup iPhone automatically
Alternatively, you can set your device to backup your data every day automatically when your phone is plugged into a power source and connected to a WiFi network.
- Plug in your phone and connect to WiFi.
- Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud > iCloud Backup
- Toggle the switch next to “iCloud Backup”
- Ensure your screen is locked.
Backing up your Android device
Backing up an Android phone got a lot easier this year, when Google rolled out its “Backup by Google One” cloud service, which makes it more streamlined to backup your important photos, documents and other data. Alternatively, you can backup your data directly to your other Google services, like photos and data, automatically.
Backup your Android with Google One
This summer, Google rolled out its “Backup by Google One” service, which is a unified way to backup your device all in one place, which replaces Android’s older backup tool. It allows you to backup all your data in one place, making it easier to restore your data if you lose or break your device. A quick reminder that all Google accounts include 15GB of free storage, so you may need to buy more storage if you exceed that limit to use this service (see plans here). Here’s how to get started:
- Download and install the Google One app.
- Open the Google One app > Back up device data > Set up data back up
- Choose Back up now, or choose Backup settings which can help you turn on automatic backups.
Alternatively, you can continue backing up your photos and other data within the different apps on your device:
Backup your photos and videos to Google Photos
- If you haven’t already, download the Google Photos app to your Android device.
- Open the Google Photos app and sign-in to your account if prompted.
- Tap your photo or initial in the top right.
- Select Photos settings > Back up & sync.
- Tap “Back up & sync” on or off.
Backup other data to Google Drive
- If you haven’t already, download the Google Drive app to your Android device.
- Open the Google Drive app and tap on the “+” button
- Tap Upload
- Then, select the files to backup
Backup your apps and settings
- Open your device’s Settings app
- Scroll down and tap “system” or “accounts and backup”
- Tap on ‘Backup and restore”
- Toggle on “Back up my data” and add your account

4 meaningful ways to celebrate the holidays this year
The holidays are a time for merriment, family, friends and giving. Yet, as we all face another challenging holiday season, it can be an especially hard time for many families in our communities.
Luckily, there are a lot of great ways to feel the holiday spirit and help our neighbors, especially if you are opting for a scaled back get-together or don’t celebrate at all. You can donate your time to a worthy cause, chip in a few dollars to your favorite charity, or even convince that last hold out in your family to get their booster shot.
If you’re still looking for a few meaningful ways to enjoy the holidays this year, we compiled a quick list of ideas for you to consider. Enjoy!
Volunteer at a food bank
Many of us have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season, yet too many families will find themselves at a food bank in search of a holiday meal. Last year, the number of people facing hunger rose to 38 million, including nearly 12 million children.
That’s why during the Thanksgiving holiday CREDO donated 250,000 meals through our partnership with Feeding America as our very small way of giving back.
This year, consider donating your time to a local food bank to help make a difference for families struggling with hunger this holiday season. Our partners at Feeding America have some great tips to help you get started during this popular time of year to give back to your community.
Accompany a loved one to a vaccination appointment
As the pandemic persists, public health officials continue to offer caution regarding gathering for the holidays, and urge people to assess their own risk factors based on personal circumstances.
One point, however, is very clear: vaccines are important to protect yourself and your loved ones and recommended for people attending holiday gatherings. The CDC continues to recommend that everyone who is eligible to get vaccinated to do so, and anyone who is eligible to receive a booster shot, to make an appointment.
But you may know a loved one who has yet to be vaccinated, for any number of reasons. The holidays could be a great time to have a conversation with them about it. Here are some tips from UCLA and UNICEF about how to approach these kinds of conversations.
Or you may know an older relative or neighbor who still hasn’t received their booster. Consider asking them if they need help making an appointment or if they need a lift or would like some company when they go.
Donate to your favorite causes
The holidays are a time for giving, including to our favorite causes. Here at CREDO, we understand the importance of giving back to our communities by donating every month to causes that empower climate justice, civil rights and economic justice.
During the holidays, many people spread the holiday cheer to their favorite charities and non-profits with year-end giving. If you’re ever looking for an organization to give to, CREDO has vetted and donated to hundreds of organizations that work on the frontlines of climate justice, economic equality, voting rights, reproductive justice, peace and much more.
Visit https://www.credodonations.com/organizations/ to see all the organizations our members have helped us fund. If you’re a CREDO customer, you have likely helped to fund many of these organizations just by using our products everyday!
Vote to help distribute CREDO’s December donation
Speaking of CREDO’s grantees, here’s a quick way to make a difference this holiday season: Vote right now to help us distribute our monthly donation among three amazing progressive groups.
This month, you can help fund climate justice, women’s rights and voting rights by casting your vote for Carbon 180, NARAL Pro-Choice America and Vote.org. It’s quick and easy and you’ll do your part to help these great groups. Just visit CREDODonations.com and cast your ballot today!

Combating Threats and Expanding Access: What’s at Stake for Reproductive Freedom
This is the most pivotal moment in decades in the fight for reproductive freedom, and NARAL Pro-Choice America and our 2.5 million members in all 50 states are ready to meet it. We work each day to organize and mobilize for access to abortion care and birth control, paid parental leave, and protections from pregnancy discrimination. We’re working toward a future where each of us—no matter who we are, where we live, or what we believe—has the freedom to make our own decisions about whether to start or grow a family, and where those decisions are treated with respect and dignity. 
Since 1969, our member-driven campaigns have propelled political and cultural change at every level, from statehouses to the White House. Our members were critical to electing reproductive freedom champions in 2020, with 132 NARAL-endorsed candidates winning their seats. We leveraged those historic wins in 2021 to help expand access in states such as California and Nevada, and to support House passage of the Women’s Health Protection Act (WHPA)—historic legislation that would safeguard the federal right to abortion. And we leveraged the election of President Biden and Vice President Harris to engage our members in support of access to medication abortion care by urging the Food and Drug Administration to temporarily suspend in-person dispensing requirements on medication abortion care during the COVID-19 pandemic, and to undertake an evaluation of all the medically unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion.
All of this progress happened in no small part because of the support of CREDO members like you.
While we celebrate the wins of the past year, we can’t afford to stop mobilizing for our freedoms. The anti-choice supermajority on the U.S. Supreme Court is currently considering Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization—a case about Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban that directly challenges Roe v. Wade. If the Court were to overturn Roe tomorrow, 26 states would likely take action to prohibit abortion outright. Twelve states already have “trigger bans” in place, which would ban abortion automatically if Roe is overturned.
And in 2021, anti-choice state lawmakers across the country enacted 106 restrictions on abortion access—more attacks in any year since Roe was decided. This includes draconian measures like Texas’ SB 8, which not only outlaws abortion as early as six weeks of pregnancy, before many people even know they’re pregnant, but which also breeds vigilantism and encourages individuals to take legal action against anyone who helps someone access abortion care in the state.
The threats to reproductive freedom are coming from every angle. In the face of these threats, NARAL has a bold and ambitious agenda for the future. We are leveraging all of our resources to stop the torrent of bans and restrictions from anti-choice lawmakers in states across the country—while also advancing proactive policies. We’re pushing for policies that would advance reproductive freedom and abortion accesss for every body—no matter who they are, where they live, or how much they make. This includes working at the federal level to pass WHPA through the U.S. Senate and ensuring that the president’s budget robustly funds programs that support reproductive freedom and excludes restrictions on abortion, including discriminatory coverage bans.
Realizing a future where reproductive freedom is truly for every body means creating lasting change in our culture and our communities. That’s why we work every day to:
- Combat anti-choice disinformation and amplify accurate facts about abortion.
- Train NARAL members across the country to run their own Action Councils, organizing in their local communities and beyond to advance reproductive freedom.
- Collaborate, striving to be good allies to and work with our partners to maximize impact.
- Be intentional and transparent in our efforts to dismantle systemic racism and hold ourselves accountable in centering diversity, equity, inclusion, and justice in our organization and our work.
But that’s not where NARAL’s work ends. We recognize that 2022 is critical to our futures—for reproductive freedom and for democracy. Democrats only have control of Congress by a razor-thin margin as we head into the midterm election cycle. So NARAL and our 2.5 million members are working to elect reproductive freedom champions up and down the ballot—champions who don’t just agree with the 8 in 10 Americans who support the legal right to abortion, but truly fight for it—and hold accountable lawmakers who put reproductive freedom on the line. 
As abortion rights and access face an existential crisis, we must take bold action to secure reproductive freedom for every body. NARAL and our members were made for this moment—and we won’t back down when our rights are on the line.
