The European Citizens’ Initiative for Unconditional Basic Income has opened a crowd-funding (or crowd-sourcing) campaign. They are calling on basic income supporters to donate to help finance the collection of the rest of the 875,000 signatures needed to pass the initiative.

The crowd-sourcing initiative is inspire by Croatia, which in September 2013, started promoting their built basic income website and their Facebook page. By October 15th, Croatia, the last country to enter the race for signatures, became the first country to collect their minimum quota of signatures. They achieved it in only 45 days, using nothing but the power of the Internet, and the attention of the media. Sweden and Portugal, which have begun trying Croatia’s tactics, are now seeing an enormous increase in signatures.

Maybe the campaign can ask Avaaz to pick this up as a campaign. They are 29 million members strong, I’d guess millions in Europe, and often take action to help push issues the extra mile.
