There are multiple ways to tell your community’s story using America250 as a highlight.

- Collect local leader stories:
Launch a Story Corps style collection of stories from leaders across your community. These can be featured on the city’s website, library, YouTube or another digital channel. - Monthly social media post:
Highlight historic moments from your community. Consider a ‘This Day in History’ template. - Invite a Member of Congress to an event.
- Send press releases:
Send out press releases about your event, contest or activity to get the media involved. - Write an article for a local/regional newspaper:
Is there a person or event tied to the local area from the Revolutionary War time period? Compose a piece on a community event
