...and one person can make a difference.

The goal of Heart Transplant is—always has been, since Andrew, Frank and Zak conceptualized it—to recode the cultural software as it pertains to bullying. It's an effective tool for doing that, and the timing couldn't be better. But any tool left in a drawer can't get the job done.

We're not asking anyone to buy a copy. What we are asking you to do is make a bigger commitment than that. We want you to go to your local public library and ask to speak to the person in charge of purchasing books for the library. Ask that person if they were offered Heart Transplant; give them a copy of this brochure; then check in with us to let us know who you contacted and what they said.

Here is a list of those who have checked back in to let us know they got their local library to carry Heart Transplant—a list of people we respectfully call Heart Donors:
