As Ranen Miao of Short Hills, N.J., put it in the closing words of his winning submission to AU’s 2019 Student Essay Contest, “Today, young voices matter more than ever: together, with shared conviction and faith, we can create an inclusive future that defends both religious freedom and social justice.” We couldn’t agree more.

I hope you will take a moment to forward this email to any eligible students in your life, or share our webpage with all the info they need to submit their essay now: https://www.au.org/essaycontest

Sincerely,

Alicia Johnson
National Organizer and Student Network Manager
