> talking about it publicly on social media will do

No way. Slacktivism is a pejorative for a reason. Compared to an upvote or a comment on [social media platform], a call or physical letter will have between 10 and 10,000 times the impact on your targeted public servant.

I think public discourse on social media is close to being ruined by bots. Petitions which require id to authenticate might be a better measure, although has it's flaws for sure.

Possibly if you mention them, likely not even then. Most accounts are run by staffers.

Getting media attention is a long shot.

I asked the original question. I was hoping for a “here’s a list of people you can email or call or write to” resource.

Social media is better than nothing, but it would be a lot more impactful to go the extra distance to make sure it lands somewhere people are already looking.

I just wish I knew where that somewhere was.
