Who could do something about it? What could you say to persuade that person to care or to make change? How could you make us care, too? Those are the questions we posed to teenagers for our new Open Letter Contest this spring, inviting students to write public-facing letters to people or groups about issues that mattered to them. We received over 8,000 in response written to senators about making health care more accessible, to Gen Z about embracing kindness, to Taylor Swift about reducing her carbon emissions and much more. This week [we published the list of the more than 150 finalists](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoc8L6P0T3aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyNC8wNy8wOC9sZWFybmluZy90aGUtd2lubmVycy1vZi1vdXItb3Blbi1sZXR0ZXItY29udGVzdC5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1JmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMjQwNzEyJmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTEyODYwMiZubD10aGUtbGVhcm5pbmctbmV0d29yayZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MTcxOTkwJnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpmjvo9kWZDPggHUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAM~) whose work we are honoring. We’ve already published five of the nine winning letters in full, and we’ll continue to publish one each weekday over the next week. We’ll also be publishing a reply to one of the letters, which was addressed to us, The Learning Network. We hope you’ll read these young writers’ work and let them know what you think by commenting on their letters. Thank you to all the students who participated, and to the educators who took a chance on this new contest. Sincerely, The Learning Network P.S.
