What you can do

A site that sets out arguments and stops there is not much use. Here are the concrete things, in order of increasing effort.

1. Sign the initiative when it opens

The European Citizens' Initiative registered on 7 July 2026 must collect one million signatures from at least seven member states within twelve months. The organisers have six months from registration to start the collection.

When it opens, signing takes a few minutes on the official European Citizens' Initiative portal. The previous attempt, which closed in 2022, did not come close to the threshold: the difference between an initiative that fails and one that forces the Commission to answer lies largely in how many people know it exists.

Be wary of sites collecting signatures on their own. Valid signatures are collected only through the official system.

2. Circulate arguments, not slogans

The articles on this site are written to be shared one at a time, with someone who has a specific objection. Send the piece on financing to a person worried about cost, not a general manifesto.

An argument won with a slogan is lost to the first informed person who turns up. An argument built on a verifiable fact stays won.

3. Ask your representatives

Members of the European Parliament answer emails, particularly from constituents asking a precise question. «What is your view of the initiative registered on 7 July 2026?» is hard not to answer.

The same applies to national parliaments: basic income is a member state matter, and the European level can only recommend.

4. Tell us where we are wrong

This is the single most useful contribution. If you find a wrong figure, a misread source or an objection handled badly, write to [email protected].

Reasoned corrections are published. A site that does not correct its own errors becomes indistinguishable from the propaganda it claims to oppose.

One thing we do not ask for

Money. This site takes no donations, sells nothing and has no organisation to maintain.
