A succinct summary of what seemed good and bad about the change to give me an idea of whether I agreed with it.
A really clear action plan if I wanted to help in some way. That might include, for example: sample letters to send to your MP, some considerations on what makes letters to your MP more/less likely to succeed (are emails better than physical letters, or vice versa?), a link to where you can find out who your local MP is and what the best way to contact them is.
This seems like a good idea to me. And the second idea seems to me like a potential Task Y, meaning something which has some or all of the properties:
“Task Y is something that can be performed usefully by people who are not currently able to choose their career path entirely based on EA concerns*.
Task Y is clearly effective, and doesn’t become much less effective the more people who are doing it.
The positive effects of Task Y are obvious to the person doing the task.”
Relatedly, that second idea also seems like something anyone could just start and provide value in right away—no need for permission, special resources, or unusual skills. (My local EA group actually discussed similar things previously in the context of climate change, and took some minor actions in this direction.)
