Email batching instructions
⬇️
Email batching prep
⬇️
-
Copy email template from toolkit above to a blank document (click here to go to template)
-
Edit any of the yellow highlighted sections in the template (ie your name, their name, etc). and any other relevant info (ie number of Palestinians killed, etc)
-
if you are wanting to only create one email for multiple government representatives, I would not include any specific government representatives' names
-
consider your status and maybe change the language to 'resident of Canada' rather than 'citizen of Canada' in some of the template. (also consider if this may have any repercussions due to your status).
-
-
Find your mayor, MP, MLA, premier, prime minister and any other government reps and paste onto a blank document. (click here to go to list)
-
Choose an email batching strategy (click here to go to strategies)
-
FYI I have a 20% response rate to my emails and this can be annoying when I send out a bunch because they end up in my primary inbox, so I create a filter for Gmail to send them to my updates email instead. (click here to create filter)
