Explanation:

1. For the goal "I think a new law goes against the state's constitution and want to use the state courts to get rid of the law...", the action involving starting a court case to have the state supreme court declare the law unconstitutional matches, as it uses the courts to challenge the law's constitutionality.
2. For the goal "I want to show state legislators that lots of people want them to pass a bill...", organizing a public march and inviting state legislators shows public support, so this action matches.
3. For the goal "I think a bill that the legislature passed is terrible, and I want the governor to reject it...", sending an email to the governor's office asking the governor to reject the bill is the corresponding action.

Answer:

• Goal: "I think a new law goes against the state's constitution and want to use the state courts to get rid of the law..." → Action: "... so I help start a court case connected to the law so that the state supreme court will declare the law unconstitutional."
• Goal: "I want to show state legislators that lots of people want them to pass a bill..." → Action: "... so I help organize a big public march and invite state legislators to come."
• Goal: "I think a bill that the legislature passed is terrible, and I want the governor to reject it..." → Action: "... so I send an email to the governor's office asking the governor to reject the bill."
