'No' al Código Civil

[chestnut_pod]

Keep up your work in the States, and take a look also at the States' largest colony: Puerto Rico's government is using the protest to pass legislation without due process. This legislation, among other things, would legalize conversion therapy, strip the right to a home of the children of LGBTQ couples and divorced couples, and privatize vast areas of Puerto Rico's public and protected lands.

Please learn more and sign the petition here.

The translation of the text at the petition is:
"On May 11, the Puerto Rican Senate passed a series of amendments which attack the rights of Puerto Ricans. The passed them without public review, without citizen participation, behind closed doors. Senators took advantage of the COVID-19 pandemic and of the vulnerability of Puerto Ricans to push forward their agendas. As a people, we must unite in reclaiming our rights and we must repudiate the very existence of this violent Civil Code."

Just so you know, that petition either hates my screenreader or just hates me. I've made multiple attempts to sign it, and each has given me an error with no explanation. I've tried two different browsers, same result. The visual assist I got with one of them hit the same wall. ... Help? :(

Huh, I've tried this on two different laptop browsers and my phone, and it seemed fine.

Perhaps it's the very specific link? Try this one: http://chng.it/VCfsfcs2Dt

Nope, same situation, I'm afraid. There was an issue submitting your signature, but no reason for the error or clue regarding what to do about it. Ugh! My city/state/zip pops up as part of the attempt to sign, so it's clearly let me before. And there... doesn't appear to be any comment box? Maybe that's the issue? Wow, I am confused.

I'm not at all annoyed with you, for the record. Change.org is pretty dang and/or my screenreader and/or myself irritating at this point, but you are so very not.
