Usage Instructions

Would you like to read a news article, watch a TV segment, or listen to a radio interview about CCLā€™s national or local activities and strategies? Here's how to make that happen: send a press release! When something newsworthy is going on, fill out the appropriate press release template and send it to the reporters at your local newspapers, TV stations and radio stations. Hopefully, they will respond by covering your news in an article, TV segment, or radio show.

Here are press release templates for a few common scenarios in CCL:
