1/ We agree with @cliodiaspora - we need the British public not just to agree with us on #citizensrights for the 3.6m EU citizens but to stand up for us. That means taking action rather than pity. Some of these actions take very little effort.

2/ Action 1: Follow us
We are very grateful to the 21k very active followers here on Twitter. But to put this into context there are 13 million UK users on Twitter. 21k followers equal just 0.1% of the UK Twitter base.

3/ Action 2: Tell your followers to follow us
As simple as quoting one of our tweets you really like and just write: "follow @The3Million"

4/ Action 3: Retweet us
We are generating between 1.4 & 2 million impressions per month. This is generated by about 10,000 retweets we receive per month. We could double the number of impressions if only 60 more people decided per tweet decided to retweet.

6/ Action 5: understand us
We are not Pro Brexit and we are not pro Remain, we are simply pro #citizensrights whatever the outcome on Brexit. We need to fight for our rights with every outcome in mind.

7/ Action 6: Support our work
As @cliodiaspora says in her thread, it took Darren Grimes hours to collect £20,000 to challenge the the electoral commission. It has taken us 24 months to raise £69k. Money much appreciated and desperately needed.

8/ £69k that enabled us to continue our vital work. Paying for travel to Brussels, Westminster, Scotland & Wales. Allowing us to meet ministers, MPs, MEPs, giving evidence at UK Parliament, to the EU commission. Holding strategy meetings, running a FB forum with 35k members...
9/ but we could have done so much more. And the focus is shifting. With Settled Status, the new immigration status, being implemented we need to reach out to EU citizens. 1% failing to apply would result in 36,000 illegal EU citizens in the UK in 2021. Dwarfing #Windrush scandal
10/ and we must monitor the UK Home Office, checking that everything with the Settled Status application process is running as promised. These are mammoth tasks and we need support.
11/ thus action 7a: Donate to our cause
Put those who support Darren Grimes to shame and show them that the right cause deserves more support than he does

12/ Action 7b: become an ongoing supporter
Even better than a one off donation why don't you become a supporter. Providing ongoing support to help us fight for #citizensrights and to continue our efforts of informing the 3.6m EU citizens in the UK.

13/ Action 8: be a champion
You can do all of the above, or just do parts of it. You can write to your MP, write to your local newspaper. Just speak up.
Whatever you do, take action not pity.
Just be an #EUcitizensChampion, be like @davidschneider /end
