Dear Mr. President letter writers at the Fairborn public library branch.

Since December, WYSO has been collecting your audio letters for a project we’re calling Dear Mr. President, which asks what you want to say about your community – and what you want President Donald Trump to know about the Miami Valley.

Today, we’ll hear letters about the environment, climate change and the United States’ relationship to the world.

WYSO's Dear Mr. President project asks what you want to say about your community. This episode was produced by Jess Mador and featured music by composer James Pants. Special thanks to our WYSO Dear Mr. President Library-Day partners.
