Slightly old-school civic tech question: has anyone here worked on tools that help people send physical mail to public officials?

A lot of civic action products seem to optimize for petitions, email forms, call scripts, or meeting transcripts. Physical mail is slower and less shiny, but it still goes through official office workflows, and the address-finding / printing / mailing part is annoying enough that most people never do it.

I’m curious whether people think this is a useful area for civic tech, or whether it is mostly nostalgia and the real leverage is elsewhere.

Everyone talks about calling offices, emails, petitions, and social media pressure, but I barely ever see people mention old-school physical letters anymore. I'm envisioning the harry potter gif (if you know you know).

Since congressional offices still receive and process mail, I’m wondering if activists (we) should be using physical letters more often, especially for issues where a short personal message matters.

Has anyone here actually organized letter-writing campaigns recently? Do they still get taken seriously by offices, or is calling still the better use of time?
