Tips for Writing a Letter to the Editor
Letters to the editor are great advocacy tools. After you write letters to your elected officials, sending letters to the editor can achieve other advocacy goals because they:
- Reach a large audience
- Are often monitored by elected officials
- Can bring up information not addressed in a news article
- Create an impression of widespread support for or in opposition to an issue
