Affordable Textbook Actions

What issues do you care about?

This semester, we are running campaigns on a lot of big issues.  To solve these problems we’ll be working with students to organize panel discussions, collect petition signatures, generate calls to congressmen, and get media coverage.

As classes start we will be launching our fall campaigns. We need to hear from you to know which issues we should tackle first. 

Please take a moment to fill out the form below to let us know which issues you care about most. Make sure to let us know if you are interested in an internship!

Tell Your Senator to Support a Strong Global Warming Bill

The Senate is debating what could be the biggest environmental legislation of our generation, and we need to make sure they get it right.

Literally thousands of lobbyists from the oil and coal industries are talking to them every day, urging them not to act. Your calls can help show them that the public wants them to stop global warming and repower our economy with clean energy.

Call your Senators today - it's really easy:
1. The phone number to the switchboard is 202-224-3121.
2. They will connect you to your Senator's office.
3. Leave a message urging them to support a strong global warming bill.
4. Fill out the form below so we know how many calls are made.

Here's a sample message you can leave:
"Hi, my name is _______.  I am calling to urge Senator __________ to support the American Clean Energy and Securities Act because it will create millions of new jobs and rebuild our economy.

As a college student, it is my generation that will either see the effects of climate change or benefit from the solutions. We have the solutions right now, but we need Senator ______ to support a strong global warming bill so we can build a clean energy economy. Thank you.”
