Remember to keep signing the petition even after it gets 1 million! Every single signature over 1 million makes it that much more likely to actually get accepted!
Worth adding that this is because the validation process may disqualify some signatures, dropping the total below a million.
If we get a million legitimate signatures, the EU comission is not allowed to simply reject the initiative.
Thanks! I was actually just about to come back and edit it to include that lol.
