book buying alternative for activists

Dear Comm-Org Folks,

I'm guessing all of us buy books online. Might you want an alternative
to ordering books from corporate giant Amazon.com? Would you like to
help out an activist training program run by a member of this list?

Well, this summer Antioch University's Environmental Advocacy and
Organizing Program entered into a partnership agreement with Powell's
Books--a progressive, unionized, and family-owned online bookseller.
Our mutual aim is to make it easy for you to order books on
environmental politics, community organizing, or any topic you might
want. Powell's has hundreds of thousands of books on topics ranging
from Activism to Zoology. It is a full-service online bookstore.

Even better, Powell's will donate 7.5% of your purchase price to the
EAOP's Scholarship Fund without any extra cost to you--if you order
books from the following link: http://www.powells.com/?&PID=31076.

You could save this email and click this link everytime you want to buy
books online... or you could bookmark the webpage from the line above
in your web browser to make things even easier... or you can always
visit the EAOP's new blog, "The Well-Trained Activist," and link to the
Powell's site directly from it:
http://eaop-blog.blogspot.com.

So, help yourself to great books, support the EAOP's Scholarship Fund,
and support a progressive alternative in online book ordering while you
are at it.

All my best,
