Speak Out Blog

There are many ways to be a Campaign Activist. You can pledge to do an online activity, such as sharing a Speak Out postcard or uploading a photo, or an offline activity, such as contacting your local governmental representative or speaking at a local event.

We want to know your best ideas and plans for using free copies of Overdevelopment, Overpopulation, Overshoot to raise public and media awareness of global population issues.

Due to limited supply, not all free book proposals will be approved. Keep in mind we are looking for inspired ways to share, educate and promote the issues of this book and campaign, so be creative and think outside the box! Proposals need not be long, but please provide enough details to give us an idea of what you plan to do with the book.

Please name the recipient(s) you have in mind and tell us the publicity ideas you have, any plans for photographing, filming or otherwise documenting your efforts, and your social media outreach strategy, etc. Proposals to donate books to local libraries or give to immediate family members are not likely to be approved. Vague or undeveloped proposals lacking the details listed above will not be considered. Please allow a few weeks for a formal response to your proposal.
