Equality Illinois Letter to the Editor Campaign
The "Letters to the Editor" section is one of the most read parts of the newspaper, from municipal to community. Writing a letter to the editor of your local paper is a great way of publicizing our message to the larger, general audience.
Write a letter to your local paper and tell how passage of HB 2234 - The Civil Union Bill - will affect you.
Remember these tips: pick ONE topic, make your letter short and succinct, add your personal touch or story to the topic that you are writing about, and pay attention to the editor's guidelines. Do not get discouraged if the first letter you write isn't published.
