use your voice

there is a e-petition (a real one) online on the German Bundestag to decide about ending the "Residenzpflicht" (obligation to stay in the municipality where you are registered) for asylum seekers, you can register and give your voice for this here

Pro Asyl has started an action of sending postcards to German Minister of Interior de Maizière and EU-Commissioner Cecilia Malström to advocate for unaccompanied minor asylum seekers in Greece. The card reads following:

"in the EU member state Greece child refugees are
detained, harassed and left homeless without any
protection. They are not provided with any care and
accommodation that is suitable for children. The
human rights and dignity of these unaccompanied
minors are being violated systematically.
The best interest of the child is the highest priority.
A humane solution has to be found. Please advocate
personally for their relocation to other
EU member states."

You can order these postcards for free here. More information on the topic for example here
Maybe there are similar action to the ministers of interior of your country?
