Back by popular demand! We had a really fun letter writing party last November which resulted in over 35 letters and cards sent out and personal responses from city officials and local environmental organizations. We come together to write letters to politicians, members of the local media, and environmental organizations conveying the message of peak oil and encouraging preparation action from these leaders.

We're having our second letter writing party this weekend. We're not talking multi-page letters here, just a few paragraphs can be very powerful. It's been shown that personal written notes are the most effective form of activist communication (as compared to form emails and postcards) and that's what we're going to do.

All you need to do is show up! A few of us on the Outreach team are organizing this and we're hoping to make this as fun and easy an event as possible. We'll provide cards, stationery, paper, pens, stamps, contacts/ addresses, "talking points" - facts and ideas to use as writing springboards, yummy snacks and drinks, music, and good company! Bring a snack or beverage if you like.
