53 signatures so far today. We need 4,948 more over the next 60 days to get a formal government response. @Marco is right. We need as many Taiwanese citizens to sign this as possible. Please ask your spouse, children, friends, and colleague to sign. Let’s be realistic. The Ministry of the Interior is going to say no and repeat all of its old reasons such as national security and loyalty. That is the Ministry’s policy and the government will almost certainly defer to the Ministry. The only way to get this done will be to have legislators amend the Nationality Act. The petition and the event tomorrow are just the beginning. Eventually, we will have to _ **take to the streets** _ for this one. That’s why Crossroads is so important. They are an NGO who can get the permits to do this when the time comes. I expect this to take ten years. The advocacy groups that pushed for alternative schools need 16 years. TPP Legislator (and long-time independence supporter) Chen Gau-Tzu has been fighting for expanded access to assisted reproduction for 25 years. She even had to join the TPP. The petition is something that can be used later to legitimize the advocacy campaign. Let’s get it done! ---

Every signature counts I think to make sure it goes through. Also comments on the petition. I’m sharing with any long term residents that I know here. ---

we need to keep this current level of engagement. Once the local media will start covering this more signatures from locals will come. Working on that. ---

Here’s the TaiwanPlus coverage. It looks like the event was a success and about 50% of the attendees looked Taiwanese. Reasonably credible. Sadly I can’t find any coverage in the Chinese-language media.

> [@Mr\_PBH](#): > > 5 K in 60 days? Should be easy! I don’t think it will be easy based on progress so far. After three days and one reasonably succesful event, there are only 416 ‘signatures’. Everyone will really need to lean on Taiwanese family family, friends, and coworkers to sign and get the word out on their social media accounts. Us foreigners can’t do this by ourselves. For one thing it’s not credible if only foreigners sign. For another, many foreigners don’t seem to be able to use the site 😉 ---

Oh I hadn’t even looked at it yet. So 5k of any adult in Taiwan is it? I will do what I can to get my wife’s family on board! If we get it to all her relatives that should cover about 1/4 of the necessary signatures! 😂 ---
