Want to make textbooks free at UMD? What better way to do so than to make our case right to the decision-makers? Join the Campaign for Open Textbooks for a week-long Faculty Canvassing Blitz, starting on November 26th, to have your voice heard!

Are you #textbookbroke? What if we told you that in the modern textbook market, paid textbooks are obsolete?! Come to our Tuesday, 5:45-6:45 meetings to find out how you can help us achieve this common-sense goal!

The campaign stands firmly with the SGA today in their support for the McNair family and in their call for justice for Jordan. Come out to this great event today to support our student athletes and stand with fellow students in these troubling times.

We are looking for a UMD student who has been hit especially hard by textbook prices for a project we're working on. If you or anyone you know fit this description, DM us and we will be in touch!

Everyone come out and check it out! If you sign our petition, you'll get one of our brandy new stickers

Basically, our whole thing is "how about we not pay a semester's worth of money for stuff other students get for free"

“How can a few college kids with clipboards like us take on these huge companies? Frankly, it’s the only thing that ever has.” @MaryPIRG’s @s_kenny25 pumping up the crowd for a new semester of #TextbookBroke campaigning. #StudentPower

@HigherEdPIRG Correction: NOTHING can stop @MaryPIRG

[Kaitlyn Vitez @KaitlynVitez]

The rain can’t stop @MaryPIRG from waving down hundreds of their peers to talk textbooks. They’ve previously won statewide funding for #OER; now, they need to spread to word to every student and professor on campus in their push to switch over intro classes. #TextbookBroke

[UMD Campaign for Open Textbooks @opentextUMD]

Everyone make sure to come out to kickoff tonight! Don’t miss your first and best chance to get involved in the campaign! Also, tacos and ice cream...
