"This College Right-to-Life Handbook is intended to serve as a resource for college students working to bring the right-to-life movement to their campuses. It is meant to be a practical, working manual - with a smattering of pro-life theory for good measure."
"Recent years have seen an exciting growth in the number of students concerned with the issues of poverty, economic injustice, and environmental degradation. This new level of student engagement with these global issues - perhaps most publicly illustrated with the 1999 protests against the World Trade Organization in Seattle - has led many students to get involved in campaigns to reform the policies and practices of governments, corporations, and international financial institutions. It has also led them to look critically at the economic policies of their own educational institutions - particularly those policies that determine how these institutions invest their often very large endowments.....The purpose of this guide is to share the experiences of these student-led campaigns and to provide some basic information about the theory and practice of community investment, with the hope of encouraging other students to undertake community investment initiatives at their schools."
