Change begins when we are willing to speak up, ask questions, and take part in the decisions that shape our future.

Ronald D. Reed wrote members of Congress asking them to examine whether expanded lethal removal of seals and sea lions will actually produce measurable recovery of wild salmon populations.

You do not need to be an expert or a professional writer to make your voice heard. If an issue matters to you, learn about it, ask questions, and tell the people making decisions why it matters.
Have you written to an elected official, community leader, organization, or other decision maker about an issue you care about? Send us a copy of your letter and tell us a little about the issue that inspired you to write. Selected letters may be featured here to help others learn about the issue and inspire more people to take part in the conversation.
