Send a letter to the editor on the 10th anniversary of the Iraq war.

Use the letter to remind local readers of the enduring human consequences of U.S. wars.

You can use our sample language below, or use the talking points next to it to craft your own. If you can connect the issues to your own personal experience, even better. (Be aware that many Editors have a 200-word limit on their letters. Our sample below is under 200 words.)

Follow the steps below to send your letter. Let's not let the consequences of these wars fade from our national memory.

Step 1 - Select a Recipient

Select newspapers whose content you know and can reference in your personalized Letter to the Editor. Targeting newspapers you know also helps ensure you're sending the letter to a place where it will have a receptive audience. Please keep in mind that most newspapers will not print anonymous letters, so make sure you're sending the letter to places you'll feel comfortable seeing your name.
