What the petition asks
Britain voted to leave the EU on the 24th of June, but they did not vote to kick out the 2.9 million EU citizens currently living in the UK, many of whom have made lives and families here. The Prime Minister should guarantee that EU citizens residing in the UK will be allowed to stay after Brexit
