Dear Lucas,
During elections, we go to the polls to vote for the candidates we think best represent the hopes and dreams we hold for ourselves and future generations. But even if everyone we vote for wins, we will still have gaps between where we are and where we need to be.
Private citizens like you and me must stand in this space and work to fix the broken places in our society. Because elections don't solve the most pressing challenges our time -- people do.
And you don't have to be in office to make a tangible, meaningful difference in the lives of others.
We all have the power -- and the responsibility -- to work together to fight the climate crisis, help American entrepreneurs succeed, tackle economic inequality, and more.
Take my short quiz to see how small actions are improving lives all around the world -- and you'll have a chance to win a signed copy of my book, Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World.
You'll learn how my Foundation is addressing some of today's most urgent issues: combating climate change, fighting childhood obesity, promoting economic opportunity, and enabling sustainable development. And you'll find out how you can be part of that work to improve the lives of millions.
See how we're changing the world one action at a time, then get involved -- when you do, you could win a signed copy of my book that explores how we all can have an impact.

Our opportunity to change the world didn't end when the polls closed. There's plenty more work to be done, and I'm glad to have you with us.
Sincerely,
Bill Clinton
