On Friday 11 September, we’ll gather at Parliament Square at 9am to call for a compassionate, safe, and workable assisted dying law. We’ll stand together for choice, dignity and the right of terminally ill people to have a say over the end of their lives.
MPs in Parliament will be debating and voting, again, on whether to allow terminally ill people the right to an assisted death. If they vote no, it could be all over for the campaign.
Victoria Denning is a former headteacher, mother of two, who received a shock terminal diagnosis this year, said:
‘I, like many other terminally ill people, would like to decide myself when I am ready, when I am in such pain and when I have tied up all the loose ends and said my goodbyes, that now is the time. I am shocked that the Assisted Dying Bill was blocked by a few who think they know best. That’s inhumane and cruel. Although I have supported this Bill from the start, until you are actually told you have a limited time left, you have no idea how important it is to have control over how you live your life and how you end it. I really hope MPs across the political spectrum listen to voices like mine and support this Bill again.’
So please come and campaign for people like Victoria. Let’s unite for the right to compassion and choice.
Please RSVP today.
P.S some of us will stay until 14:00 to react live to the result of the vote.
