Mr. Michael Baldwin, Director of Benbrook Library District, shared this in the PUBLIB listserv. Their libraries are sponsoring an essay contest titled "My Idea To Improve American Democracy." The submissions could be essays (or poems, plays, short stories, cartoons, etc.) of 1,000 words or less on the topic of improving American democracy.
Great idea. Might want to adapt it like so: An essay contest titled "My Idea to promote Harmony/ Tolerance/Dialogue". Participants could write about one theme, or two or three combined.

Idea: A day of healing by Delray Beach Public Library
