STEP 1:
Identify and coordinate actions with partner organizations, groups, and individuals in your community.
An op-ed, or opinion piece, is a written expression of an individual’s or group’s opinion on a matter of public interest.
Op-eds bring local, national and world events into perspective for readers and commonly offer a recommendation or solution to a controversy or problem. Op-eds appear opposite the editorial page in most newspapers and can be serious, satirical or light-hearted.
Generally about 600-900 words, op-eds present a single, clear point of view, not objective discussion of both sides of an issue. Op-eds are written to grab the attention of various groups-such as legislators, opinion leaders, business owners, or the community-at-large-and urge them to consider or take action on an issue.
