  Philadelphia PRESS RELEASE March 1, 2001
• Write to your local press -  we have a model letter you can send to your local press and a model article for publication. 
• Call radio and TV stations (some have women's or community programmes), tell them why you are planning to go on strike.
• Don't forget there are Strike jingles in English and Spanish and a song which your local radio may be interested in broadcasting (contact us to get a copy).
