Write a letter to the editor of your local paper to demonstrate support for civil marriage rights for same-sex couples and thank Vermont for moving forward.
Tips:
- Keep it simple. In 200 words or less, share with readers why you support the freedom for same-sex couples to civilly marry.
- Reference the newspaper article you're responding to. If you're responding to an article or a previously printed letter, be sure to include this information in your letter.
- Submit to weekly papers. You're more likely to have your letter printed in a smaller local paper that your neighbors read.
- Personalize it. Our supporters offer diverse perspectives on the reasons to support the fair and equal treatment of GLBT Vermonters.
- Be sure to include: Your first and last name, town, phone number, and email. It's common practice for the editor to contact you to confirm your information and to let you know your letter will be published. They will NOT include your contact information in the paper other than your full name and town.
