That's "letter to the editor" if you were wondering Hey Indivisibles,
We’re back with a fairly new tool from our Let’s Go Joe advocacy toolbox – LTEs.
What are Letters to the Editor?
A LTE, or a “Letter to the Editor” is one of the most effective and commanding advocacy tools we have. Letters to the Editor are an important way to build awareness and community support for an issue that matters to you. Members of Congress (MoCs) and the White House track Letters to the Editor in newspapers across the country, and they help journalists understand what regular people are thinking about. Just like a viral social media post, LTEs help us show public support for particular issues. By just taking just a few minutes to write a LTE, your message can reach thousands of people, and maybe even the president himself.
Letters to the Editor are one arm of our overall campaign to encourage the president to use his power to improve all our lives, and the one we’re focusing on most this week.
With that, here is how you can get your letter published on two critical issues:
- If you’re passionate about fighting climate change, click here to write a letter to the editor explaining why President Biden must declare a national climate emergency and mobilize our nation’s resources on a massive scale to transition to clean renewable energy and create millions of good paying green jobs.
- If you care about lowering the cost of prescription drugs, click here to submit a letter to the editor to a newspaper in your city or town calling on President Biden to use his executive authority to lower prescription drug prices now.
Not sure where to start? Don’t worry, we give you a sample letter to work from at each of the links above, as well as a list of local papers to submit to. We need to make bold advocacy moves to encourage bold change from President Biden, and we can’t do it without your help. Please, write a Letter to the Editor of your local paper today.
In solidarity, Indivisible Team
P.S. We pay for tools like this Letter to the Editor one because we want to make advocacy as easy as possible -- but they’re not cheap. If you’ve used an Indivisible tool please consider donating even $5 to help us keep them online and all our work going.
