Photo: A close up: Patricia's hands outlining a letter she'll be sending to her elected representatives. She holds a red pen to paper with her right hand, and she holds the paper in place with her left hand, on which she wears a couple of silver and turquoise rings. Patricia says she's "making up for the 33 years I couldn't do any kind of partisan activity. Now I can." She's a U.S. Army veteran with 33 years service. MailStormKC provides postage, stationery, postcards, names and office mailing and email addresses for elected representatives, plus SCOTUS – plus a time and a place in which to compose the correspondence with others who are doing likewise. Of the 16 people who came to this event, roughly a third had been to previous ones. MailStormKC's organizers – Katie Nelson and Nicholas Reed – estimate they facilitated almost 800 pieces of correspondence at Kansas City's recent No Kings 2.0 event in nearby Mill Creek Park. "My goal," Nelson says, "is a thousand." One suspects that when she hits that goal, inflation will set in.
