"Make the Call, Take the Call"
There's always a safe way out.

Sometimes people find themselves in potentially dangerous situations and just don’t know a safe way out.

They feel they have to choose between taking the risk or getting in trouble or losing face if they ask for help.

So if you’re in a situation where you need a safe way out -- fast -- who can you call (or text) for a ride home?

“Make the Call, Take the Call” is all about making an upfront agreement with someone you can count on as a lifeline – someone who agrees to get you home safely, no immediate questions asked. (This doesn’t mean no questions asked ever -- just not at that time.)

The point: when the situation is potentially dangerous, and you’d like to get out of it, it’s good to have a lifeline -- someone you know you can call, and who you know will take that call – no questions asked.
