This seems like a reasonable ask, good luck with it! I can’t help myself, unfortunately.
However, I did bounce off the clickbaity title of this post. I wouldn’t like an EA forum where I had to open each link to work out whether it was worth reading or taking action on. I much prefer posts which try to make transparent what the ask is. In this case, I think “Call on U.S. legislators to protect farmed animal welfare” would’ve been more transparent and possibly even more attractive to some.
I totally agree and almost didn’t proceed with this title. However, I would like to see more posts like this that present short, actionable ways to have an impact outside of donations and in a way that was a primary point of the post. How cool would it be if we had ten more posts like this? I’d happily spend that 20+ minutes each month completing the full list. Also, I’m unsure if there’s evidence of this but I have a general assumption people are more willing to take action for a cause area they don’t prioritize if they’ve already loosely committed to taking an action, such that not IDing the cause in the title might lead to more action. But very happy to be proven wrong on that!
