One of the most effective ways to influence public opinion is by sharing our healthcare stories and vision for universal healthcare in Letters to the Editor of our local daily media. Newspapers and websites appreciate getting letters from community members and elected officials watch closely when their name is in print. With letters, we can let them know why we need to make universal healthcare a top priority. During the training, participants will practice turning their stories and opinions into a letter to the editor format.

This Letters to the Editor training is part of the Campaign for New York Health's story-based Healthcare for ALL Action Training Series:

The Campaign for New York Health's strategy to grow the movement needed to win universal healthcare is grounded in sharing our healthcare stories. Sharing our healthcare stories is part of every pressure tactic we’ll undertake in the coming year as we push for a vote on the New York Health Act: lobby visits, in the press, at rallies, in social media campaigns, when we are recruiting our coworkers and neighbors to take action and get involved. Stories are how we understand that winning healthcare for all is a fight for our lives. RSVP here for all of our upcoming advocacy trainings.
