Write Letters to the Editor

Templates and samples for writing your own letters to the editor and op-eds for the Climate and Health Declaration.

Why write a letter to the editor?

We encourage letters to local media explaining how climate change is impacting human health. There are resources here to help you get started.

If you would like help reaching media outlets or additional help writing your letter, please feel free to contact us at takeaction@resilientkansas.org.

A letter to the editor is about 150-200 words, and is a good way to take action and spark a public discussion.
