About

The Public Forum is an independent student publication dedicated to amplifying the political voices of the next generation. We publish opinion pieces from high school, college, and graduate students across the United States — and across the political spectrum. We believe that students have some of the most urgent, thoughtful, and underrepresented perspectives in public life. This is their platform.

Limited Demographic: Submissions are restricted to high school, college, and graduate students in the United States.
