Letters to the Editor (LTE) of your local paper are a simple, yet effective way of getting your message out to the general public on an issue of concern. Here are five easy steps for writing your letter:
- Make it personal and talk about why the issue matters to you.
- State the facts that back up your claim.
- Include a call to action.
- End with a bold closing statement.
- Submit the letter.
Many papers have word limitations but will generally try to print all letters received, particularly in smaller communities. Now is the time to speak up and inspire change!
