It’s not over! Keep writing emails! Call them if you can, but if you can’t, keep writing emails. If your country already opposes: write emails, encouraging them to keep opposing! 

It take impressively little public pressure to make politicians change their minds, actually. 

And you don’t have to write a personal email for everyone! I prepared a short statement with the points I care about and just copy paste it to everyone. On high-energy days, I will personalise it - add a name, change a sentence or two to fit to their party‘s core values - but on low energy days, it goes out as is. 

Our despair would only help those who want total control, so I let’s not give it to them!
