The European Citizens Initiative is a place where EU citizens can start and sign petitions. It guarantees that one million signatories will bring a petition to the Commission.

This is a reminder to take a look at the petitions on there and sign any that seem interesting to you. There are generally only a handful, and they’re almost always valuable. They take about 20 seconds to sign.

This is a dead-simple way to be an active citizen, maybe we could treat this as something like a chain message where we remind one person in our lives to check these out. Many small voices are more powerful than the loudest megaphone, use your voice.
