**Opinion: Author Calls for Increased Civic Engagement Beyond Social Media**
An open letter published recently has called for a shift in how citizens engage with national issues, arguing that reliance on social media is insufficient for meaningful civic participation.
The author, who notes that their previous writings regarding Dominica in the 1960s and 1970s drew accusations of nostalgia, racism, and colonialism, used the letter to address the current state of public discourse. The author contends that digital platforms do not replace the necessity of active, traditional civic involvement.
The publication, *Dominica News Online*, noted that the views and claims expressed in the letter belong solely to the author and have not been independently verified.
