Can writing change your world? Writing with power about personal, social, and political issues can change minds, introduce solutions to old problems, and help you become a more engaged participant in public life.

Everyone has issues that matter deeply to them, whether they are:

• Personal--such as defining the goals and ideas that are important you,
• Local--such as the governance of the public library or enactment of local laws and propositions,
• National--including critical political and social issues being decided on a larger scale, or
• Global--challenges facing the planet from perspectives of social and ecological change.
