Here are a few ways that Coalition members and others can participate in the campaign:

• Encourage media outlets (television, radio and print) to run the ads. Use any and all media connections that you have. Be sure to tell them why this message is important for your community to hear. Download the Campaign Press Release.

• Tailor some of the ads to specific locales or to your own organization. Add your logo, a local phone number or website.

• Use the 60-second television spot at local community meetings or run it in a continuous loop at your organization's annual conference.

• Post campaign banners on your website. Click here to see how!

• Build a local public relations campaign around the ads--for example, get them on drive-time radio and then arrange for your newspaper to write a story about your community schools.
