Grass Roots appears to refer to political activist groups so I am guessing that Grass Root letters are letters of protest that have been written by members of these types of groups.
If you like the look of Grass Roots and what the different groups campaign for, then you follow this series of steps to get involved.
• If you are particularly interested in an area, then you should conduct as much research as possible on that topic. If you perform a Google search then you will probably find a group that has already be formed about that particular issue. Research that group to see how to join. If you cannot find a group for your cause, then consider starting up your own campaigning group.
• If you want to start your own group, then you should start to recruit fellow enthusiasts and volunteers for your cause. The key to this is networking. Start off by getting the people that you know involved, and then ask them to spread the word around.
• Start to get your group out there by spreading around fliers, erect a table outside the local store or in another public place. This will help you to educate the public about your cause. Start a blog or website and link it to your Facebook page. In fact, create an individual Facebook page for your cause! And a Twitter.
• Organize some kind of outreach event. This usually involves setting up a table at a farmer's market, festival or other event to encourage others to get involved. Meet elected officials, organize campaigns, write letters to your local newspapers and radio stations, go to people's doors and speak to them. Always invite the media to your events as it is a good way to get exposure!
• It is important that you speak to elected officials in power who are the target of our cause and urge them to change their policy. To be convincing, you must present them with data supporting your cause. Show them the strength of your support by a petition.
