Onze excuses voor het ongemak!
PERSBERICHT: KPN zegt sponsoring op, Petities.nl verhuist van XS4ALL naar Freedom Internet
De servers van Petities.nl verhuizen van XS4ALL naar Freedom Internet. De verhuizing is noodzakelijk na eenzijdige opzegging van het sponsorcontract met Petities.nl door KPN. Dit gebeurde toen een journalist wees op het XS4ALL-logo onder de petitie 'XS4ALL Moet Blijven'. Freedom Internet is de nieuwe internetprovider die ontstond vanuit deze petitie. Deze provider is opgericht naar aanleiding van de opheffing van XS4ALL door KPN. Veel medewerkers van XS4ALL zijn naar Freedom overgestapt.
Reinder Rustema, oprichter en eindredacteur van Petities.nl: 'XS4ALL was jarenlang onze sponsor. We deelden dezelfde waarden en opvattingen over burgerrechten, zoals het belang van actieve bescherming van privacy. Dit verdween echter als beleid met de nieuwe koers van KPN om XS4ALL op te heffen. Dat Freedom Internet bereid is samen met Procolix de hosting over te nemen is geweldig. We voelen ons daar erg bij thuis.'
De website Petities.nl is een project van de vereniging Open Domein, in 2001 opgericht om de publieke ruimte-gedachte van De Digitale Stad uit 1994 in stand te houden nadat de Stichting DDS als commerciële BV de digitale huizen, pleinen en het postkantoor beëindigde. Sindsdien zijn er ongeveer 6000 'bewoners' met een gratis mailbox in het project De echte Digitale Stad. Een deel heeft een homepage op deds.nl gebouwd (mirror). De vereniging financiert de servers met de contributie van ongeveer 100 leden, bandbreedte en energie worden gesponsord.
Fieldlab petitie Petities.nl kwam afgelopen maandag landelijk in het nieuws door een petitie tegen het 538-fieldlab-experiment. Deze petitie werd ruim 375.000 keren ondertekend en zorgde voor afgelasting van het evenement.
Petities die op de voor gebruikers gratis website Petities.nl worden geplaatst halen met grote regelmaat het landelijke nieuws. De site blijft onverminderd populair in het gebruik om maatschappelijke vraagstukken aan de kaak te stellen. Sinds 2005 zijn er ongeveer 20 miljoen ondertekeningen onder 20.000 petities gezet (bron en mirror).
Freedom Internet De directeur van Freedom Internet, Anco Scholte ter Horst, is blij met het vertrouwen dat Petities.nl aan Freedom geeft: 'Sinds oktober werken we samen met Procolix om kwalitatief hoogstaande hosting aan te bieden, met maximale aandacht voor veiligheid. De sponsoring van Petities.nl is voor ons niet meer dan logisch: de oorsprong van Freedom ligt in de petitie van XS4ALL Moet Blijven uit 2019, we delen de passie voor het strijden om digitale burgerrechten en het ondersteunen van maatschappelijke acties vanuit burgers.'
Ook Koen de Jonge van Procolix ziet de sponsoring als een logische stap: 'Procolix wilde Petities.nl 15 jaar geleden al sponsoren, maar het kwam er toen niet van. Nu valt alles op zijn plek. We zijn ook speciaal ingericht op klanten die met piekbelasting te maken hebben. We konden bij de Fieldlab-petitie zien dat dat soms noodzakelijk is. Op dat punt kunnen we Petities.nl ook de helpende hand bieden.'
De verhuizing van de servers vindt plaats op vrijdagochtend 23 april tussen 10:00 en 14:00 ongeveer. Gedurende de verhuizing is petities.nl tijdelijk niet bereikbaar.

"Wij kunnen morgen ook een petitie starten en dan krijgen we eenzelfde resultaat", zegt koper Peter van Eick. https://www.nhnieuws.nl/nieuws/318431/petitie-tegen-woningbouw-bij-flower-art-museum-laat-eigenaar-koud-iets-mooiers-maken.
Bedankt iedereen voor het tekenen van de petitie en aan het meedoen met overige acties. Het heeft in ieder geval voorlopig gewerkt.
Betaald parkeren is uitgesteld door zorgen van bewoners, bedrijven en overige instellingen. Maar dit betekent niet dat de strijd is gestreden. Uitstel is namelijk geen afstel! Dit toont wel degelijk aan dat we samen een verschil kunnen maken. Wie er nog niet in gelooft is hopelijk nu wel overtuigd. Steun de petitie en laten we samen met een beter plan komen!
Samen zijn we sterker!!!

Urgent Action Needed: End the Plight of Sudanese Asylum Seekers in the Netherlands Amid Ongoing Crisis and War in Sudan"
Your Excellency,
Allow us to start with the warnings issued by international organisations that Sudan will suffer an unimaginable humanitarian catastrophe if the ongoing war does not stop permanently.
The intense fighting is putting the lives, safety, and security of civilians at grave risk all over Sudan. The new escalation in violence is exacerbating an already devastating situation and making people desperately need urgent help. At least more than 500 people have died and thousands injured since the power struggle between Sudan's army and paramilitary group Rapid Support Forces (RSF) descended into fighting almost four weeks ago.
The fighting has pushed Sudan's population to near breaking point, with food becoming scarce, electricity cut off and many hospitals shut down. To make things worse, multiple aid agencies have suspended operations, and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said it was gearing up for potentially tens of thousands of people including children, women, and the elderly, fleeing to neighbouring countries.
The UN refugee agency also stated that “the ongoing brutal conflict has forced more than 100,000 Sudanese Refugees to flee neighboring countries, and at least 20,000 Sudanese refugees to flee to Chad from Darfur”, which it describes as “one of the regions most affected by violence of Sudan, and where growing instability might cause much larger displacement in the coming weeks.”
Regrettably, the situation in Sudan remains volatile. There are no positive signs on the horizon about an imminent end to the fighting, and people in Sudan are still living in fear every single day. Bodies are scattered in the streets, children, and women are among the victims. It seems the voice of bullets has prevailed over the voice of wisdom, sanity and the sanctity of our homeland and the safety of its citizens.
The signatories believes that the dilemma of the transitional period lies in the existence of multiple heads of power and decision-making centres. In addition, the de facto authority is neither elected nor decentralized and is unable to take decisive decisions. We are particularly saddened that once again, avaricious, and power-hungry men have trampled upon the needs and wishes of Sudanese people.
In the face of this tragic scene, the world watched with interest how the concerned countries hastened to evacuate their diplomatic missions and nationals from Sudan, which left an impression among many that the crisis is likely to deteriorate rapidly.
However, we are particularly saddened to see these countries racing to evacuate their nationals from Sudan, while they stand by and watch the catastrophic scene in this country. The paradox here is that the majority of these countries provide support to the two warring parties, the army and the Rapid Support Forces, in accordance with their interests. We are also shocked to learn that some of these countries have ruled out introducing safe and legal routes for Sudanese fleeing the war to seek asylum in their soil.
The signatories strongly believes that the relevant Dutch authorities should grant all Sudanese asylum seekers the right to settle immediately and without any conditions under their applicable legislations, and in the light of the ongoing war in Sudan.
Those unfortunate people and their families have endured years of uncertainty and are traumatized as a result, let alone the psychological, emotional, and financial problems they are experiencing. Many suffer from panic attacks, nightmares, and psychological problems due to the long wait for decisions regarding their asylum applications.
Undoubtedly, the ongoing war in their country, the lack of security and basics elements of normal life for the citizens there and the constant concern for the safety of their families have exacerbated the suffering of these people and made their psychological and mental conditions worse than ever.
We hereby strongly appeal to your esteemed administration to take the necessary measures to end the plight of Sudanese asylum seekers, their long suffering and grant them asylum to prove that the Netherlands is at the forefront of sponsoring countries for refugees fleeing repression and persecution in their country in search of safe havens.
Sincerely,
Signatories: 1. Broad National Movement. 2. Darfur Union. 3. Here to Support Stichting. 4. M2M. 5. Stichting Present Amsterdam 6. Sudanese Baathist Party. 7. Sudanese Communist Party. 8. Sudanese Cultural Association. 9. Sudanese Refugees Organization. 10. Wij zijn hier.
