Our goal is to be the one stop shop for leftism here at lemmy.world! We welcome anyone with beliefs ranging from SocDemocracy to Anarchism to post, discuss, and interact with our community. We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

I didn't know this, but you're right: https://www.europarl.europa.eu/pdf/citizensinitiative/procedure_en.pdf

I didn't know that either, that's actually very interesting. Don't think this will lead to anything but fuck it, let's hope I'm wrong. Signed.

I feel the same. They do have around 250,000 signatures so far so who knows. Even if the EU resists, it might get more publicity.
