Use the new Editorial Packet to ask your editor to write about protecting development assistance programs.
If your editor has ever carried your opeds, or written an editorial, chances are they don’t want to see us reverse course on poverty. Ask them to write.
If your editor hasn’t covered these issues, it’s time they do!

Laser Talk: Come to the International Conference!
Hi! You know that I’m a volunteer with an organization called RESULTS. You and I met at ______.
You may remember that we work to change public policy so that we can put an end to poverty here and abroad.
I know you’ve really been engaged in the activism that’s been going on since the election, and I know you’ve been talked about feeling a sense of urgency - like there’s more you should be doing something that really affects what’s happening in Congress.
That’s why I thought you’d might be a great fit for our International Conference in DC July I go every year to hear expert speakers, do issue briefings, and sharpen my advocacy skills. But the highlight is really the everyday people. Advocates from all over the world remind me that I don’t have to wish for solutions – I have the power to ask my legislators to enact the solutions we know will work.
Would you like me to send you the registration link so you can read more about the conference?
