A SOCIAL MOVEMENT

The Sunday Letter Project

We believe in the power of words on paper.

The Sunday Letter Project encourages all of us to sit down each week and write - to ourselves, a loved one, or even a stranger.

Because some things are worth saying slowly.

"Write a letter. Make someone's week."
