    Can a textbook defeat Prop 8?



     
    Courage Campaign
    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" an innovative website allowing students to compare textbook prices online to find the best deal on books with 6% of every textbook purchase donated directly to Courage Campaign Institute. At no extra cost to you.

    Please read the message below from Marshall Brekka, co-founder of Textbooks4Change and a student at UC Berkeley. 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:

    http://www.textbooks4change.com

    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 by comparing the prices of leading online retailers and purchasing their textbooks. At no extra cost. If you are a student at UC Berkeley 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) Search for your textbooks, compare prices from leading online retailers, and save.
    3) Buy textbooks from Barnes & Noble, Textbooks.com or Half.com.
    4) 6% of each purchase is donated directly to the Courage Campaign Institute!
    5) Share Textbooks for Change on Facebook and help to spread the word to friends and classmates.

    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.

    The Courage Campaign is a multi-issue online organizing network that empowers more than 700,000 grassroots and netroots supporters to push for progressive change and full equality in California and across the country.

    91. Crisis : 40 stories revealing the personal, social, and religious pain and trauma of growing up gay in America edited by Mitchele Goldw/Mindy Drucker

    SUMMARY A mental health crisis faces American teens right now--and it is one we can solve. Hundreds of thousands of gay teens face traumatic depression, fear, rejection, persecution, and isolation--usually alone. Studies show they are 190% more likely to use drugs or alcohol and four times more likely to attempt suicide. Homophobia and discrimination are at the heart of their pain. Love, support, and acceptance--all within our power to give--can save them. This book is for clergy, parents, educators, and politicians who may not realize the harm their words and actions can cause, as well as for supportive parents of gay teens; teens navigating this difficult time; and fair-minded people who want to help end the harm. Here are revealing stories by forty diverse Americans, plus insights from straight clergy and parents explaining their support of gay people as whole human beings guaranteed equal rights by our Constitution.--From publisher description
