GenEQ Action Tools: Editorials & Op-Eds
Editorials educate a paper’s readers on important issues of the day, shape public attitudes, make or break electoral candidates, and affect key policy decisions. College/University presidents, administration and boards of trustees are sensitive to editorial opinion published in the campus or local paper. Editorials which support your campaign – getting official recognition for your GLBT club/organization, adding sexual orientation or gender identity to non-discrimination or anti-harassment policies, funding a campus GLBT resource center or office, or obtaining gender neutral housing or bathrooms – are a valuable resource for the campus activist.
