Sunday is for Letters

I'm supposed to be working right now, but the software I'm supposed to be documenting is still a touch on the broken side. So let me catch up on a few letters.

From NARAL Pro-Choice America, send an email to your federal delegation asking them to, well, make sense about sex education. Since mine just won't, I didn't bother editing the stock text much.

Then two letters from Amnesty International:

• Support the International Criminal Court: Justice Now for the Women and Girls of Darfur
• Call for the Closure of Guantanamo

If those two don't move you, check out the entire list at the Amnesty International Online Action Center.

I don't think I had noticed it before, or perhaps it's new - the Amnesty action center offers the option to print a letter and mail it, in addition to the usual email option. I know paper letters are more effective, and now they've made it easy. I also like knowing that they're getting data on how many people send letters, since they have it integrated into their action center rather than simply posting the information on a flat web page and hoping. Stats are important in measuring nonprofit effectiveness, and when you do a good job they also come in handy while fundraising.

Now I must make my lunch for tomorrow!
