Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

It really is surprisingly effective. So few people actually contact their legislators.

I set up a harassment campaign and got a few hundred people to contact a state legislator whose committee was holding up legalizing weed in my state and a few months later it was legalized. Agitate. Make a difference. Protesting doesn't do shit, get all the people there to call their representatives and senate members - especially for state and local stuff, and you might actually get something changed. Or even better, send a letter.

Yeah, this year the German government passed the law for decriminalization of weed, and it was almost blocked by our Federal Council if it weren't for thousands of community members harassing them on social media and via Fax (yes, Telefax is still used by our government 🤦)
