@slodwn
this has been circulating amongst friends on fb - literally took me 5 minutes to go through all of the petitions:
The UK government (Rees Mogg) has said they will not consider any petitions unless it goes through their official petition website.
Link here: https://www.thelondoneconomic.com/news/rees-mogg-tells-campaigner-we-wont-debate-petitions-unless-theyre-hosted-on-government-site/14/05/
This means all the change.org sites that have gained alot of signatures over the past few weeks will not be considered for debate by the government. Their is no denying this is their way of wriggling out of discussions about black lives matter, racism and trans human rights issues in the UK and world wide.
I have collected as many petitions as I can from the website to do with the above issues and made a list below. Simply click, fill in and share this post. We need 10,000 for a response and 100,000 to be considered for debate. If anyone knows who created certain Change.org petitions that are of relevance to BLM or trans human rights please ask them to create a new one at https://petition.parliament.uk/
