Writers wield extraordinary power as agents of change. Through narratives writers have the power to inspire and guide readers to enact the change needed for a better world. Literature can help us understand climate change, the growing concentration of economic and political power, and the challenges created by technology. Though their work may be in different media, their ability to express passion and share it with the world; can help ensure that the country, the human family, and the Earth have a just, sustainable, fulfilling future.
