About
Letters to the President is a small place for open letters from people whose voices don't often reach the public.
How it works
- You write. Pick a pseudonym and leave out details that could identify you.
- We read. An AI model (Claude, by Anthropic) flags spam and identifying details. Only the letter text is sent to it. Then the editor reads your letter.
- We may check in. If something might give you away, the editor emails to ask what you'd like to do.
- It's published under your pseudonym, and your email is deleted a few days later.
Letters aren't delivered to the president. They're written for everyone else.
