Signal Boost

[profiterole_reads]

There are 4 DAYS LEFT for EU citizens to sign the European Citizens' Initiative petition to ban conversion therapy in the European Union.

- 570,000 signatures are still needed (with the massive mobilisation currently happening, we're getting ~100,000 new signatures a day, so there's a chance)
- 2 countries still need to reach the threshold: Slovenia and the Netherlands are in good position

Please share on all your social media! Here's a Tumblr post and a Bluesky one, for a start. If you have friends in Slovenia and/or the Netherlands, please message them. A lot of people don't have the time to catch up on their dashboards/timelines and can easily miss the information.

I've shared it online and IRL, I'll send it to more people again *crosses fingers*

It's going fast. 490,000 still needed, the Netherlands has reached the threshold and Slovenia is 540 signatures away from its own threshold.

You can contact people with big followings, like associations (not necessarily LGBT ones, I've contacted a women's rights association) or celebrities (I know some people have contacted singers, I've contacted authors).

Keep me informed how that goes. That is a despicable practice.

Will do!

GAH!

Through no fault of my own *very heavy sigh* I'm not able to sign due to Brexit.

ETA, I am though sending links to all my EU friends who are not on DW.

I'm still sad about Brexit, and many Brits have said the same thing about not being able to join in.

Thanks a lot for sharing! <3
