Have you ever experienced the desire of wanting to write to a change-maker but being unsure of how to do so? If you have, you aren’t alone.

A change-maker is any person in a position to make change happen. This could be someone as high up as the President or a Congress person to someone more familiar, like the owner of a local business or your school superintendent.
