Remember that coalitions and letter writing campaigns can also have a major impact. Learn about it. Ask about it. Sponsor workshops, meetings, speakers bureaus, speeches, information brochures, posters, newspaper articles, conferences, consumer meetings. In addition to newsletters, town meetings, letter writing, and awards, consider phone campaigns, advertisements, press releases, press conferences, booklets, pamphlets, seminars, slide shows, movies, resource guides, cable TV programs, radio or TV talk shows, exposes, public service announcements.
Law is a strategy.
Review all it has done. Review what changes would not have come without litigation. Think about it. These are an established part of the American landscape of social change. From women's suffrage to civil rights to the rights of people with disabilities, this is an acceptable and a powerful way of sending a message.
