Make a clear statement that EU citizens living & working in the UK can remain

What the petition asks
EU citizens who are living, working and contributing to the UK are frightened. We need a clear message from parliament that the UK welcomes them as permanent, valued residents.
The leave campaigns promised no change to EU citizens currently here, but there is still fear. Let's dispel it.
