You gave the media the REAL scoop!

Who says you can't make a difference? In the first week after the re-launch of the Youth Policy Action Center, more that 5,200 of you viewed more than 23,000 pages on the Web site, and sent nearly 500 messages to elected officials and media. That's right, media -- a number of you have figured out that the Youth Policy Action Center can be a powerful way to get your voice in print. The Campaign for Youth posted an alert about a graduation rate story in USA Today, and you responded, submitting more than 160 letters to the editor to papers across the country! Students for Sensible Drug Policy posted an alert about how many college applicants in each state have been denied financial aid due to drug convictions. You sent more than 160 letters to the editor, and look, here is one of them, which was printed as the lead letter in Sunday’s Providence Journal! Education Week took notice as well, reporting on the important work you all are doing through the Youth Policy Action Center.
