Here are a few PR project ideas to get you started. Remember that scheduling projects further in advance, plus planning ahead at the start of each quarter or year, will allow more time to plan, raise funds and implement an effective campaign.

As you are planning, don't forget to check our Events Calendar for timely anniversaries and events. Your media coverage will be even better and your outreach will be even more effective.

Join forces with other like-minded groups for greater impact and joint fundraising, e.g., local counseling centers, civic groups or churches.

1) Conduct a letter-writing campaign using our sample letters to the editor as a general guide, but writing in your own words. You can also use our sample letters to political, religious and civic leaders.

2) Mail or share post cards or flyers of What Every American Needs to Know or use this information in letters, etc.

3) Send educational materials to:

►Journalists, editors and writers.
Ask them to write about unwanted abortions and post-abortion pain. Keep it simple. Send Portraits of Coercion or Forced Abortion information plus one or two fact sheets and one or two ads.

►Print, broadcast and on-line media:

Send materials to the appropriate editor; for example: features editor, news editor, religion editor, events calendar, etc., at local/state newspapers, print, broadcast and internet publications. Don't overlook small groups or civic organizations, such as women's clubs, men's clubs, volunteer- and civic-oriented newsletters, magazines, internet sites, etc.

►Opinion leaders, pastors, legislators and group leaders
