Worth making the difference as well that this is not your usual online petition with no promise anyone does anything with - but an official initiative EU HAS TO deal with if it gets enough support! They can not just throw it in the trash!
It‘s scary to see how very important european petitions get no visibility whatsoever. We had a basic income petition last year which failed because not enough people knew about it. Now we have a „tax the rich“ one that only lasts until october this year and only has around 250k out of 1 mio. signings.
Most EU people go through their every day life w/o knowing about them. There are no ads, no marketing…nothing. I know that costs money though one might think important petitions that lead to a better and progressive life would be supported by the government or ministries in some way, but nooooo
And why should they? It’s petitions that would help out the poor and middle class, but endanger capitalism and their exploitation, sooo: government and business leads for example.
So here the link for those who are interested:
#EU#european#there are others in there as well but yet... it falls to regulsr people and orgs to promote these things#[the obligstory eu is bad and imperialist disclaimer with the footnote of Yet we should use all the tools we have]#it also falls for each eu country to educate their cirizens about it but there is this sentiment of EU being separate entity from ones state#but thats another talk - for now IF YOU CAN sign those petitions/citizens initiatives and share them#Check the orgs behind petitions you agree on and consider volunteering - it takes long years and multiple attempts to get anything done
