Textbooks for Change

After Prop 8 passed, a small group of amazing students decided to help build the movement for marriage equality one textbook at a time. So they created  "Textbooks4Change" to support the Courage Campaign's Equality Program, giving students the opportunity to directly donate 6% of every textbook purchase to marriage equality. At no extra cost.

Please read the message below from Barak Wouk, founder of Textbooks4Change and a student at Columbia University. Then click here to watch their inspiring video, spread the word about about this innovative program and -- if you are a student -- purchase your textbooks via Textbooks4Change:

Dear Daniel --

As a student, I was part of the 64% of Californians under the age of 24 who voted against Proposition 8. But it wasn't enough.

To defend Judge Vaughn Walker's decision that Prop 8 is unconstitutional and bring marriage equality to America, we need students to get involved. Students like me have always been good volunteers, but, because of a lack of cash, we haven't been able to contribute much money to marriage equality.

Until now.

Today, the Courage Campaign is helping us re-launch Textbooks4Change to give students the opportunity to raise money for marriage equality by simply purchasing their textbooks. At no extra cost. If you are a student and you want to buy textbooks, click here to watch our short video and find out more:

Using Textbooks4Change is easy. Here is how it works: 

1) Click here to go to Textbooks4Change

2) Press the big red "Purchase Textbooks" button

3) Buy textbooks from Barnes & Noble, Textbooks.com or Half.com

4) 6% of each purchase is donated directly to the Courage Campaign's Equality Program!

That's it.  

If you are a student, parent or professor -- or know someone who is a student, parent or professor -- please spread the word about Textbooks4Change.com today. By simply forwarding this message along, you will build the movement for marriage equality one textbook purchase at a time.

Thank you for supporting our effort to give students the power to make marriage equality a reality across California and the country.
