Been pretty wild to see so much commitment to this EU citizen initiative for banning conversion therapies.

It's not just a petition, but an initiative that WILL have to get looked at by the European Commision if it reaches one million signatures. At the rate it's going, this is going to be in a couple of hours! :blobcat_party:

If you're an EU citizen and haven't signed yet, it barely takes 5 minutes!

"you, as an ordinary Texan, can’t change these laws in the way Ohioans did because of an old and arcane little power... called the #CitizenInitiative.

Nationwide, about half of states empower ordinary citizens to collect signatures & force a statewide vote on proposed constitutional amendments or statutes...

These plebeian-friendly polities are concentrated in the American West, but they straddle the partisan divide.

Once again, finnish citizens must do what the government cannot.

Citizens initiative to ban fur farms and help fur farmers find new field of work gathers the needed 50k signatures in one day. Latest laws passed due citizens were gay marriage and trans law reform.

Nazi-joke-government plans to fund fur farming and not do anything to stop the next pandemic brewing there.
