letter campaign
Mass mailing effort
A letter campaign is an organized effort to influence a decision-maker by flooding them with correspondence from many people.
Activists coordinate supporters to write letters to politicians, corporations, or media outlets, hoping the volume of mail demonstrates widespread concern: The environmental group launched a letter campaign targeting the senator.
Modern equivalents include email campaigns and petition drives.
