European citizens should have more influence over the European political agenda than national governments, lobbyists, or foreign actors. We're building a Europe-Wide network of people to change this.
The Broken System
Right now, ordinary citizens can force the European Commission to take action on an issue through a European Citizens Initiative (ECI). But they have to gather 1 million verified signatures in just 12 months after their proposal is submitted. Most initiatives fail because they start from scratch, and don't receive enough signatures.
Our Solution: Shortcut the timeline
We aren't waiting for the clock to start ticking to find our signatories for these initiatives. We are finding the signatories first.
By joining this list, you are connecting with a European-wide network of forward-thinking citizens. When a proposal regarding climate, housing, or human rights is ready, our community will be prepared to sign immediately. This gives these important initiatives the early momentum for them to succeed.
How does it work?
1. Join the Citizen List: Be ready to lend your digital signature to active and future European proposals.
2. Sign Initiatives: When an initiative lands, we alert you. Sign in under 1 minute!
3. Share Across Borders: Help us scale the list to 1 million!

What is the European Citizen Initiatives (ECI) process?
1. Proposal submitted to the Commission Legal admissibility check.
2. Signature collection Let’s shortcut this to mass-file ECIs. Proposals have 1 year to collect 1 million signatures in at least 7 member states.
3. Signature verification Member states verify all signatures and issue certificates.
4. Commission meeting and public hearing in Parliament Present proposal and legal arguments in detail.
5. Commission assessment Evaluation of legal and policy implications.
6. Commission communication (1) Legislative proposal, (2) partial action or (3) no legislative action.
7. Legislative proposal (1) A final proposal will be drafted and voted to become law in all member states.

What will our network do?
Short term Acceleration: You will receive invitations to sign ongoing legislative proposals that matter, helping them clear the EU's bureaucracy.
Long term Launchpad: Once our network approaches 1 million citizens, we will unlock our ultimate goal: filing our own legislative proposals and instantly clearing the signature threshold on day one!
