25 Ideas Publication The Roosevelt Institution wants your ideas on how to: · Address the energy crisis · Increase socio-economic diversity in higher education · Make America work for working families The Roosevelt Institution is going to print three new publications, each with 25 ideas from students on how to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time: fossil-fuel use; ensuring equal access to higher education; and creating an economy that works for working families. The ideas will be short, cogent, and actionable. They will present real-world solutions for real-world problems. They will represent the ideas and dreams of college students from across the country who are not afraid to address the challenges of our generation, today. After the publications return from print, significant resources are going toward implementing an amazing distribution plan that involves mail to federal and state legislators, promotion by our summer legislative office, active outreach by our chapters, and to activists and policymakers around the country. We expect to see results from this publication. Final Submission Due Date: April 1. Submissions will be accepted on a rolling basis throughout the month of March.
