Media Campaign to Increase Awareness of Homelessness
|
|
On Thursday, January 12 at 1 p.m. ET, the Alliance will host a webinar to launch a national media campaign to raise awareness about homelessness. The campaign will occur in conjunction with the release of a new Alliance report with national and state data on homelessness, economic indicators of homelessness, and the demographic drivers of homelessness. Click here to register.
Please note that this webinar was originally scheduled for January 16. Due to scheduling conflicts, the webinar has been moved to January 12. During the webinar, presenters will summarize the key findings of the report and discuss strategies for approaching reporters.
Earlier this year, the Alliance worked with its local partners to get dozens of media stories in local and national papers across the country as part of the release of a similar report, The State of Homelessness in America 2011.
It is critical to inform the media -- and through them, our communities and opinion leaders -- about the importance of ending homelessness. With your help, we can use this new report to educate and persuade decisionmakers about the scope of this problem and ways to implement real solutions.
If you are interested in joining the campaign but are unable to participate in the webinar, please contact Kate Seif at cseif@naeh.org.
