Just as always. Talk to your non tech-savvy friends and family and write your MEP's.

I got to ask. When someone like you say that you should write ones MEP's is it meant to write every single one of them or just one? Because I don't know who is my representative.

From the site, you can choose your country, and it'll list all representatives. I just picked all 15 from mine, and sent the generated text with my name added.

You should contact as many as you can bother, really, regardless of whether they're the "right" person. It will increase the perceived magnitude of concern, even if just by a little. And every little bit counts.

If it's the wrong person, ask who you should contact, and keep going!

Iโ€™ve sent to mine! ๐Ÿซก
