You might remember faxing from the 1970s through to the late-'90s. It is a kind of magic that appears to transport pieces of paper from one place to another.

And, as it turns out, the fax is not dead yet when it comes to campaigning tactics.

The Equality Campaign is moving away from bulk emailing – which has been used as a tactic by both sides of the marriage debate in the past – and embracing the humble fax machine as a way to get political attention.

Supporters can now fill in an online form with their story about supporting same-sex marriage, which will then be sent, as a fax, to their local MP.
