2018 RESULTS #LettersGetLoud Campaign Kickoff

18. 1. Learn the issue
Understand what the stakes are, understands the impact of policy on real people – yourself, your family, those in your community, and around the world.
Learn about your members of Congress and gauge were they stand on the issue. Brainstorm the best messaging approach so that they will hear you and connect with you on issues.
Drill deeper into the details of what is most striking to you– start thinking about why you care about this, how you can connect with others on this issue.
2018 RESULTS #LettersGetLoud Campaign Kickoff

19. 2. Organize your community
Gather members of your group and community for “education and action” meetings, or host an outreach event.
Inspire others to take action – share not only why the issue is important, but why it matters to you.
Lead a letter writing skills session. Then explain that you’ll be taking these letters straight to Congress. Tell letter writers that you’ll report back – or better yet – invite them to join you in your ongoing advocacy.
2018 RESULTS #LettersGetLoud Campaign Kickoff

20. 3. Use your voice
Write a letter (or letters) to your members of Congress and make it powerful by making it personal.
Explain to other letter writers the power of constituent advocacy – that we are not just writing letters for the sake of it: it’s part of a country-wide deep advocacy movement that gets results on the issues we care about.
Share your video letter on social media, tag your member(s) of Congress and end with a call to action for others to write their own letters – the more voices we share, the more our #LettersGetLOUD (and don’t forget to include that hashtag!)
2018 RESULTS #LettersGetLoud Campaign Kickoff

21. 4. Deliver your letters
Maximize the impact of your letters. You’ve written them them and shared them via social media– but the real power is hand-delivering them to Congress.
Set up a face-to-face meeting while you were members of Congress are on recess. Collect the physical letters from your community and deliver them during your meeting (feel free to record and share this action too!)
This is a great moment to invite those who wrote letters for the first time to attend the meeting with you – help them take the next step in their advocacy!
Let your members of Congress know that they work for you, and report back to the letter writers. Invite them to write another letter… and repeat!

22. Keys to #LettersGetLOUD Success
Leading with Action
Be the example of what can be accomplished by taking action regularly and powerfully
Letters are a great point of entry
Share it
Don’t keep what you’re doing quiet
Every timey you take an action, let others know what you are doing and why
Keep it going
Give people the opportunity to do it again… and again…
The goal is not just to write letters (that’s the tool) – the goal is to make it easy for anyone to join the movement to end poverty.
2018 RESULTS #LettersGetLoud Campaign Kickoff

23. Making your #LettersGetLOUD 1. Write a letter
•Preferably at your local group meeting 2. At your meeting, read the letter out loud with your group
•Reading letters aloud has an indescribably empowering effect
Record the reading of letters
Use your smartphone or camera–does not have to be complicated
Ask each person before recording if it’s OK to record and share
Post on Facebook (your page and the RESULTS Volunteers page), Twitter, and other social media platforms
•Most smartphones have a “sharing” function that allows you to easily post it to social media
