Heads up, everyone should be writing their letters, it’s easy to set up a filter and send pre-written emails directly to the trash bin or a spam folder, and it’s even more likely to happen with a hostile force like the police.
here’s a carrd to send pre written emails to ask for justice for several of the victims of police brutality and racism
[ID: twitter thread from Jack Califano @/jackcalifano dated 6/8/20 that reads
“I spent 8 months managing the email inbox of a Presidential campaign, so here’s some advice on actually getting your email read / having the biggest impact:
write your own email. write your own email. write your own email.”
“If you send a form email, and only change the name, all that tells an org is that a petition exists. If the org or office is hostile, they can just set up a filter, based on the subject line or content, and send them all to the trash.”
“If you send literally a 1 line email that uses your own words, the filter misses it! They have to read it. It takes up staff time. And it makes the demand feel *organic*, which is much scarier, and has an impact.” /end ID]
