We are announcing a Lupus Awareness Media Campaign. We are starting a
campaign to try to get some media attention for Lupus Awareness.
Every week we will be picking a Television show, newspaper, magazine
or radio show asking them to do stories/segments on Lupus. We will
post our letters and the contact information for the media outlet we
have chosen for that week. We ask all of you to write to these
outlets as well.
The more letters they get, the more serious they will take us and the
more likely they are to do the stories. Many of us have written these
emails before, but if we coordinate so that they get hundreds of
letters in the same week, maybe they will pay attention! You can
write one letter and save it on your computer and send the same one to
each media outlet. Or, you can do what we will be doing and have a
basic letter that you can customize to each show, etc.
New picks will be posted every Friday. To see the picks or have them
emailed to you weekly, visit http://cure4lupus.org/media_campaign.htm.

An excellent cause. Note that it appears limited to the USA, while both
the disease and this chatgroup are worldwide.
