Writing Letters to the Editor

Spreading the WakeUpWalMart.com Message

Writing a letter to the editor is an effective way to voice your opinion to policymakers, the media and the public. The letters help amplify and localize our message, respond to inaccurate information, inform the local community of our activities, and raise public awareness about our movement and why Wal-Mart needs to change into a more responsible corporation.

Your letters should personalize your concerns about Wal-Mart and address how you believe Wal-Mart negatively impacts your community, town, or state. In your own words, you should express your opinion and tell your community how and why you think Wal-Mart needs to change.

Through our new Letter to the Editor tool, you can instantly respond to a wide list of local, state and national newspapers about any Wal-Mart issue that concerns you. Please keep in mind, though, every paper will have slightly different submission criteria, so read the details about format and length carefully.

Remember, the letter to the editor section of your local newspaper is very popular and is widely read. Don't be discouraged if your letter isn't printed immediately. Every submission counts!

Your letters will continue to build a public groundswell for Wal-Mart to change, hold Wal-Mart accountable, and make Wal-Mart a key public and political issue -- so keep those letters coming.
