Public Relations (PR) and Other Media Tips, Resources and Tactics

 

Public Relations or PR can involve many things, but ultimately it's about getting your message out, building and maintaining relationships, clear communications and credibility with key groups and opinion leaders. It can cost little or nothing, but yield big results, however it cuts both ways. Advance planning, good relationships and a simple, clear message will go a long way toward getting good results. (See PR 101.)

Church and Civic Outreach 

 

Many churches and civic groups are aware of pregnancy-related challenges and injustices, coercion and post-abortion harm and heartbreak. However, there is much work to be done and many compassionate leaders and activists remain unaware of new evidence that most abortions are unwanted or coerced.

Use the Elliot Institute's evidence-based resources, tips and project ideas to light candles and save hearts, souls and lives.

 

Here are a few of the resources you can share or projects you can do:

 

Bulletin inserts, classified ads, etc.
Letter to pastors/leaders

  • Pastors Kit, including Letter to Pastor to share along with free pdf copy of the Jericho Plan book by Elliot Institute Director David Reardon 

  • Education/Outreach Ideas and Resources

  • Bulletin Inserts and Flyers

  • Project ideas with supporting evidence-based resources

  • Coerced Abortion Awareness Week each April

 

Other Help & Healing Outreach and Resources


Many are unaware that coercion is common and that there are many ways to offer help to women, men, teens and families at risk -- including those being pressured to abort against their will -- or individuals and families already hurt by abortion, including that who have lost not only an unborn child but also an adult victim of pregnancy-related abuse or post-abortion harm, injury and death.


Here are some helpful resources from the Elliot Institute:

 

 

Plan the quarter or year in advance

 
 

Events Calendar -- Get the message out when issues are already in the media or in discussions about current events. The calendar features events, ideas and supporting evidence-based resources you can use.
