Assure EU citizens in the UK that post-Brexit, they are welcome and valued

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Non-UK EU nationals in Britain have not been well served by the referendum campaign. After the Brexit vote, Britain assures those citizens that they remain welcome, that their social and economic contribution is valued, and we are glad they have paid us the tribute of making Britain their home.
