Speaking of getting through to the media...

I post my own internet gleanings for grassroots strategies for getting media attention at my del.icio.us activism page.

There are a bunch of grassroots mass-mailers to local newspapers and radio stations. Although, as we now know from our conference experience, mass-mailing gets very little reaction (duh), whereas targeting journalists one can give time and conversation to gets one a lot further.

Local relationships: it all comes back to social networks.

Write to your local paper as a concerned Christian or clergymember of a particular place.

Write regularly to journalists whose work you read about your view as a progressive Christian activist.

I should definitely be doing more of that.

We all should.

Also, attached, here, is a very good little pamphlet with some basic information from the Interfaith Peace guys in LA.
