CALL TO ACTION
The Letters to the Editor in the Morgan Messenger have been phenomenal in recent weeks. Shout out to everyone writing and keep up that momentum!
If you feel passionate about an issue, please write factual letters to educate the public about the issue. Your letter can make a larger impact by sending it to many papers in WV that have higher readership than our local paper.
Post it on our Facebook page which papers you write to so we can keep up with our impact or let us know at mcwvindivisible@gmail.com and we will post it for you. Let’s get typing!
