Vote for First Book!

December 30th, 2008 by Rose C. · 1 Comment · General, Social Entrepreneurship

Vote for First Book’s idea to Launch the Global Resources Network at Change.org’s Ideas for Change in America.

The top 10 ideas will be presented to the Obama Administration on Inauguration Day and will be supported by a national lobbying campaign run by Change.org, MySpace and more than a dozen leading nonprofits after the Inauguration. So each idea has a real chance at becoming policy.

In the U.S. alone, hundreds of thousands of community- and school-based programs serving kids in need are entirely without basic access to resources like new, age-appropriate books and educational materials. A Global Resources Network would allow anyone serving disadvantaged children to get the tools they need to create a vibrant educational environment.

Tomorrow is the last day to vote in the first round! We are currently in 6th place in the Social Entrepreneurship category and need to be in the top 3 to make the second round. Voting is an easy way to to help lead First Book into the New Year!
