Sunday 31st July - Letter writing campaign

In Australia, writing letters is a great way of informing our elected representatives about the things we care about. We have the opportunity to let decision-makers know that we care about overseas aid, climate change, food production, treatment of refugees, live exports and heaps of other issues we feel strongly about.

This Sunday afternoon is set aside for letter writing. It's often hard to find the time or to know where to start, but we'll have letter writing guides, information about current issues, possibly a couple of stories from people about what they are writing about - so if you've never written to politicians or other police makers before, there should be plenty of help around!

Paper, envelopes, stamps and addresses provided.

This event is happening in parallel with Micah Challenge's 'Offering of letters', so if you'd like to write to Wayne Swan encouraging the Australian Government to keep its commitment concerning the Millenium Development Goals, we'll forward your letters to Micah Challenge so that they can be delivered in person.

"Learn to do good;
seek justice,
rescue the oppressed,
defend the orphan,
plead for the widow." (Isaiah 1:17)
