Autonomic has been asked to make a “contact your MP” form.
Last time I made one of these MySociety’s [TheyWorkForYou](https://www.theyworkforyou.com/) / [WriteToThem](https://www.writetothem.com/) were the gold standard.
Now, the [“WriteToThem for campaigners” page](https://www.mysociety.org/democracy/writetothem-for-campaigners/) links to [`robinhouston/write-to-mp`](https://github.com/robinhouston/write-to-mp) which hasn’t been updated in a full decade, and WriteToThem’s [“I would like to run a service like WriteToThem” FAQ answer](https://www.writetothem.com/about-qa#doityourself) links to Poplus / WriteIt, which [seems to have been paused](https://directory.civictech.guide/listing/poplus).
What are folks using these days to make “contact your MP” systems? Pulling email addresses from the [UK parliament website](https://members.parliament.uk/) directly? Using WriteToThem’s [linking features](https://www.writetothem.com/about-linktous#types)? Something else?

I’d suggest asking this question on the [ECF email list](https://fairsay.com/community/).

There are currently no off the shelf solutions to this problem that you can self-host. This is called a letter writing campaign generally, just for searching ease.
What one can do is use an off the shelf software solution like Action Network to enter a targetting list for MPs. Small Axe provide a maintained list of MPs and their email addresses at [MPs Matched Shape File - Google Sheets](https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bhom2Glvy5EJ-mYmghljubYYSAuo20KHfMhNLWVE8XU/edit#gid=1087504496) Their Action Network UK user community provides links to resources and guides that walk you through setting this up on Action Network - [https://actionnetworkorganisers.org.uk/](https://actionnetworkorganisers.org.uk/)
The other options are New/Mode, which allows this sort of targetting and others, like local newspapers - [New/Mode – Advocacy & Civic Engagement Platform](https://www.newmode.net/home). This is a software as a service solution, but they cut a decent discount for non-profits and charities on request. And also [Do Gooder](https://dogooder.co/) and [Impact Stack](https://www.impact-stack.org/how-you-can-increase-your-campaigning-and-fundraising-impact/) that offer similar functionality. Impact Stack is UK based, backed by an agency called [More Onion](https://www.more-onion.com).
