 The
media exert enormous influence over the way Americans
think about their common culture, their politics,
their communities, and their world.
Reaching media is, therefore, one of the best
ways to get the word out about important issues
like afterschool programs.
Here are two simple things you can do to increase
media attention to the need for afterschool programs
in your community and across America. By using
our Action Center, you simply provide the text
and we fill in the contact information for your
local media. You can either send an email message
immediately, or generate letters that you can
print and mail.
