Stop Killing Games:

The consumer movement to stop game publishers from intentionally destroying older games with kill switches.

The goal is to reach 1 million signatures in the EU so that the european parliament will respond to the initiative that then leads to regulation that requires end-of-life plans for games to stay playable.

Who can send messages to the California legislators? Only their constituents?

For those who don't live in California, there are some options. I'm just going to copy/paste from the SKG Discord:

Trying this again.
The SKG discord provided some options for those in the state, outside of the state, and for those in other parts of the world (edited to avoid the wrath of DBZer0's automod):

If you live in California, or know someone who does:

Find your State Senator here:

https://findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov/

Then go to their “Contact Me” page and submit your support for AB 1921, the Protect Our Games Act.

Please include a short explanation of why you support game preservation.

If you live in another state, or know someone who does:

Submit your support directly to the Chair of the Senate Privacy Committee here:

https://lcmspubcontact.lc.ca.gov/PublicLCMS/ContactPopup.php?district=SD03&inframe=N
