DO THIS NOW

MICRO-VOLUNTEER

Any time you have a couple of minutes free, and anywhere you are, you can easily help grow the movement and lower the cost of textbooks. See the activities below.

VOLUNTEER

Looking for a great volunteer opportunity that will look good on your resume? Just spend a couple of hours doing the things shown below.

Here are some quick and easy things you can do to help yourself and other students.

Lend Your Voice

Sign the petition.
Like us on Facebook and follow us on Twitter.
Share Free The Textbooks on Facebook and Twitter (sure, Snapchat, Pinterest, etc., too). Grab a banner below. Do it regularly so everyone sees it.
Post a picture on Instagram of your absurdly expensive books, and tag it #FreeTheTextbooks
Have a blog? Please post about Free The Textbooks. Banners appear below.

Spread the Word

Let’s grow the movement. Please email, text, or tell everyone who cares about students: your friends, classmates, student organizations, teachers, HS guidance counselors, parents, grandparents, cousins, and siblings. Use the draft invitations we provided or write your own.
Get to class a few minutes early and write, “www.FreeTheTextbooks.org - Join the Movement!” on the blackboard for classmates to see.
Ask the school newspaper and radio station to report on the movement.
Print and post our flyer around campus. Grab it below.

Student Organizations

See the draft invitations or write your own to encourage student organizations (Greek life, club, academic, student media, sports team, residence hall, student government, etc.) to join the movement.

Be sure to invite organizations at other schools, too (as well as inviting your friends from other schools).

Start a FreeTheTextbooks Club

Why not start a FreeTheTextbooks club at your school. You will make a bigger impact, get school resources to fight the battle, and get the nice addition of a big leadership role for your resume. Send an email to clubs [AT] freethetextbooks [DOT] org if you are interested.

Get Involved

More ways to help yourself and all students (please tell friends about these opportunities, too):

Consider being a Campus Rep.
Intern with us during the school year or summer.
You can also intern, volunteer, or be a Campus Rep and address any cause you care about with our friends at www.ChangingThePresent-Join.org.

Print and Post the Flyers

Please print and post the flyers, and ask your student organizations to do the same. We have three versions:

Your Wardrobe Can Join the Movement, too

Get and wear the Free The Textbooks t-shirts.
Better, yet, encourage your student organizations to get our t-shirts for all the members.

Display the Banners

Please display the banners below on your website, blog, or social media pages. Get your student organizations to do the same. The ones labeled ‘For Social Media’ are just the right size to share on Facebook or Twitter.
