If you're reading the Geography Matters blog, chances are you know the importance of geography in education and the roll geography plays in understanding today's interconnected world.

My Wonderful World, a National Geographic-led campaign, is supporting an effort to help us tell our lawmakers that we need geography in our classrooms. They've created a letter appropriate for all legislators that you can have e-mailed on your behalf or that you can print and mail.

Not sure to whom you should write? Simply enter your 5-digit U.S. ZIP code and you'll get a list of your legislators and their contact information.

Take action now and tell your lawmakers that you support geography.
