Understanding and Using a Sample Of Advocacy Letter

Dear [Name of Council Member/Mayor/Relevant Official],

I am writing to express my strong support for the proposed library expansion project in [Your Town/City]. As a resident of [Your neighborhood/area] and a frequent user of the [Library Name] library, I believe that this expansion is crucial for our community.

• A larger collection of books and other resources.

I urge you to consider this project a high priority and allocate the necessary funding to make it a reality. Thank you for your time and consideration.

Sincerely,
