tillian 🦊🦇🇵🇸:antifa: ACAB's posts Post Back to profile

so a group of russian queer activists residing in germany opened an official petition to the bundestag to help trans people from russia easily flee to germany. it's not some change org shit, it's literally on bundestag's website.

but the issue is, we need at least 50k votes for it to be reviewed

you don't have to be a citizen of germany for your vote to be considered. please take a second to vote. lives depend on your decision

(comments are transphobic, skip them pls)

@mynameistillian urgh beware the comment section under that contains a larger amount of transphobia, worse than other petition comment sections about trans or immigration stuff, but probably simply because it's in the intersection of both and thus hits a right-wing "worst case". oof

@fogti @mynameistillian Strongly recommend an ad blocker or other browser extension that blocks comment sections, makes the web a little more useable

@fogti @mynameistillian ikr, and multiple people telling them to go to "the us or the UK", both famously great places for queer folk /s

@mynameistillian I'm boosting/signing this, but the threshold is actually 50.000 signatures, not 5.000, and it's for the petitioner to speak before the commission publicly, not for the review. (You can petition them individually too, they'll still review I think. Though signatures are definitely going to help.)

That said, I don't think these generally do much. Well-organised change.org petitions are probably more impactful as far as getting them into politicians' hands in a meaningful way goes.

Edit: it's probably about the same, really, aside from a media occasion, since the latter are also likely to end up before the committee. According to their proceedings rules, they essentially sort all the petitions and bring them to the appropriate recipient department.

@mynameistillian because of international laws on sovereignty, this is exactly the kind of things you don't rely on governments to do

@mynameistillian SIGNED, and GO GERMANY for making it easy! (even if I did resort to Firefox Translate... )

@mynameistillian Easier to complete the registration on a computer instead of a phone, I found.

@mynameistillian Done, though it took a few minutes to set up a username first. This would almost certainly have been faster for someone who knew German and didn't have to keep pasting things into google translate. Well worth the few minutes.
