What the petition asks
We are European citizens, but our country has voted to strip us of our citizenship.
Since 1993, British citizens have been European citizens, living under the laws and support of the European Union. For many of us, this EU citizenship is (or was) a birthright.

We call on the Government and the member states of the EU to offer a means for UK citizens to retain their European citizenship. This may take the form of a European Passport, or a fast-track to citizenship of a nation within the EU.
We are proud European citizens. We have supported and been supported by the EU for decades, and we fought to Remain in Europe with a right to travel, study and work in Europe. Please offer a way for us to keep our Citizenship of the continent we were born into.
