Thanks both for sharing this retrospective—it’s a great summary of the campaigns’ efforts, challenges and learnings. I appreciate the work that went into this, particularly the manual coordination and outreach—it’s no small task to organise a campaign like this!
I think the decision to focus on two key recommendations was a smart and pragmatic decision, people are easily overwhelmed and we need people to care and act.
Your insights about communication preferences (email over messenger) are useful.
We run campaigns which involve letter/email templates in the style of your possible alternative #2 but that then faces the issues of MP offices receiving similar messages which may then be discounted /not counted as individual correspondence. Use of some automation /AI tool may help avoid this but we’ve not explored that space a lot.
Thanks again for describing your actions so clearly and sharing the insights.
FYI the UK Voters for Animals link doesn’t seem to go where you want it to!
