The NAACP 880 Campaign for Real Health Care Reform

The Civil Rights Health Care War Room is an unprecedented coordinated effort by the NAACP, National Urban League, and the 51 civil rights, civic, professional, trade, & labor organizations that make up the Black Leadership Forum to ensure that the health care debate in Congress results in meaningful reform, including a strong public option.

Low income families and people of color have the most at stake in this national debate, which is why our organizations are joining forces in the days leading up to a vote. United, we can create strong, meaningful reform for all American families.

The Letter to the Editor Section is one of the most widely read sections of the newspaper and can reach a large audience. It allows community members to comment on the way issues are being addressed in the media and to influence the topics the local paper may choose to cover. Elected officials often monitor this section of the newspaper and take notice of constituents' opinions.

We've made it easy for you to contact your local newspaper with your views, but editors want to hear from you in your own words.
