Saw this on bluesky and thought I’d share here since I think there’s a lot of trans folks trying to find ways out of the US and this could potentially help in the future.

      The organization seems fairly reputable but I can’t 100% confirm anything. But I don’t think petitions have to go through Canadian government website for it to be successful Its just the a more typical approach.

        I never said they weren’t reputable, they even allow signers to opt-out of being contacted. I will stand by my statement that organizations, both in political and social justice spaces, mainly use these petitions to attract new donors and volunteers.

        But I don’t think petitions have to go through Canadian government website for it to be successful Its just the a more typical approach.

        I guess it really depends on was you think qualifies as a “successful petition.” IMHO, at best, it could lead to more people being engaged with Queer Momentum. Maybe there’s a chance of media attention? I’m not sure what else can be achieved.

        FYI, in 2023, an official petition on a similar topic got over 16K signatures.

      The motherfucker can try, but he will fail. Mar-a-Lago will be in flames.
