I’m contacting you with a relatively urgent request. Later this week, a letter will be sent to the incoming Biden administration recommending actions that would promote K-12 data science education. Dozens of significant signers have already added their names,
but I think yours is particularly important. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;font-size:15px;font-family:"Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">

The letter is attached for you to review. All that’s needed is to <b>reply all to this message by this Wednesday, Dec. 2 confirming that we should list your signature and providing the affiliation (if any) you would prefer.</b></div>
<div dir="auto" style="margin:0px;font-size:15px;font-family:"Segoe UI", "Segoe UI Web (West European)", "Segoe UI", -apple-system, system-ui, Roboto, "Helvetica Neue", sans-serif;background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255)">

Signatures will be added as individual signatures with affiliations (e.g., John Smith – Foundation for a Better World) unless you specify otherwise that we should add your name only and no affiliation. </div>

Thanks — I think this letter has a good chance of making a real difference!</div>
