Letters to Newtown

Mother Jones Magazine, in conjunction with Ross MacDonald, a Newtown father of two children, and Tumblr have launched the website “Letters to Newtown“. In the days following the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary School, letters from around the world poured into the local post office. Some were simply addressed “To Sandy Hook”. Others bore the official seal of international governments. They all expressed profound sadness and hope for healing. As part of a proposed digital archives project, Letters From Newtown will be updated daily with images of the over half a million letters and drawings that made their way to Sandy Hook.
