Education For All in the News

RESULTS Educational Fund has an amazing group of grassroots volunteers who work tirelessly to make education a basic right for all. Our partners know that the only way to make this happen is to make their voices heard by writing letters to elected officials, creating interesting and compelling media content, and reaching out to a multitude of different news outlets with our message.

In a media climate that is quickly evolving, it can be difficult to get news outlets to convey our message to the public in a cogent and effective manner, but this doesn’t deter our volunteers from their mission. In fact, our volunteers have been very successful in placing persuasive and engaging content in print, radio, and television news.

We have compiled a list of just a few of the articles, letters to the editor, opinion pieces, and blogs that our volunteers and partners have been responsible for so far this year. We thank everyone for contributing, and we encourage all of you to continue your efforts. This media content is proof that we are on our way to achieving the goal of making quality education accessible to everyone. Keep on writing!
