Your MP might not care if one person sends messages, but in aggregate, many people regularly calling and sending messages (e.g. once a week) will register for them over time, especially as salience increases. You can also write letters to newspaper editors, and donate to organizations that are fighting AI x-risk via local organizing and lobbying.
There is a lot that everyone can do, be those actions big or small!
I personally use Microcommit, and I am a longtime volunteer in the PauseAI movement. I’ve learned that willingness to try and perseverance in trying are way more valuable than specialized expertise. (Unless you can find the people who have both!)

You can also join a local chapter of ControlAI or PauseAI, or join the Torchbearer Community, or join Microcommit.
