Send a Letter to Newspapers

Writing to your local paper can influence media coverage and public awareness of Paid Family Leave. Below are links to the 5 larger papers in Oregon.  Smaller papers are just as useful, so please feel free to expand from this list.

Most newspapers require letters to be between 150-250 words.  Please include your name and contact information in case the paper needs to follow-up with you.  Letters should focus on the need and benefits of Paid Family Leave for Oregon families, businesses, and communities.
