Writing a letter to your Representative can be the strongest form of action you can take to support our Campaign. We can help you with your efforts with these tips, and we can further assist you as you progress. Take the time to sit down and write to your Representative.
- What to include in your letter.
- State your purpose for writing in the first paragraph.
- Personalize your letter. Avoid the look of a form letter. Personalized letters have a greater impact on decisionmakers.
- When writing to any government official, always spell their name correctly. Sometimes simple names can cause big problems.
- Be sure to mention that you live in your Representative's area.
- Explain to your Representative how the issue will directly affect your community and in what possible ways you are planning to participate.
- Quote some facts from our website and include our link: youngmdg.com so your representative can see what others are doing about the MDGs.
- Try to make your letter articulate, convincing and with a powerful tone.
- Remember to keep us informed about how you get on by emailing us so we will know how we can help you.
