What is an open letter?

An open letter is a letter that is written to a specific person or group of people but intended for public dissemination. It is typically written to express a point of view, opinion, complaint, request, or call to action on a particular issue.

Open letters are often used as a form of public advocacy and can be addressed to politicians, public figures, companies, organizations, or the general public. They are often published in newspapers, magazines, websites, or social media platforms to reach a wider audience and generate discussion or support for a cause.

Open letters can be powerful tools for raising awareness, mobilizing support, or holding individuals or organizations accountable for their actions. They provide a platform for individuals to voice their opinions and concerns publicly and can have significant impact in shaping public opinion and influencing decision-making.
