Thank you very much for the advice and encouragement; I couldn't register via my laptop but it worked OK on my phone. I followed your advice, re only using the special character listed, i.e. not a number - I used 10 characters but I it would work with 8 - 15 (as suggested).
Now that I've figured out how to do it I'll ask some others to try.

Banners and a graffiti as support.

 

Just to confirm. the petition closes on November 9th 2021?

 

Exactly, it closes Tuesday, November 9th 2021. (Unfortunately, I don't know the exact time.) There are always only 28 days in total.

A lot of signatures have also been collected on lists. The number will be added by the Bundestag after the 9th, so there is a good chance that the 50,000 will be reached if things continue to go so well.

Thank you for your support and thank you to everybody else who has signed!

 

Anyone knows of any Instagram posts that could be shared to a largely English-speaking audience?

 

Great effort from lots of people.
I even got private messages on this on Tumblr and LinkedIn, both of which I rarely get.

 

The petition has gone viral. Yesterday it had online 38000 signatures now it has 42000. I think it will hit 50000 easily with signatures sent by mail which I've been told are many.

I saw several Twitter accounts with large numbers of followers and no connection to ME promote the petition. Also some doctors. And some family members and patients were collecting signatures on the street. This is how you get big numbers.

Let's hope the hearing will be competent.

 

Sonja is one of the four petitioners.

 

That’s great. I’ve just shared that to two accounts, one for ME/CFS only and one for ME/CFS and chronic illness. Over 3500 followers between them. If we all do what we can, there is a good chance 50,000 will be reached.

 

Thank you so much for your support!

We're currently at 44,468.

 

The petition closes on Tuesday evening at 11:59 pm (German time). So we still have the whole of Tuesday.
