What a year it’s been, Friend. We’ve made so many great
strides towards changing the law. Here are just some of the highlights:

* The Isle of Man is now on the path to becoming the first part of the British
Isles to legalise assisted dying;
* An astonishing 226,000 people signed Dame Prue Leith’s open letter to party
leaders calling for law change, and over 100 MPs and Peers came to her
special event in Parliament
* In Scotland, Dignity in Dying supporter Kenny’s open letter to Humza Yousaf
gathered over 25,000 signatures, and Kenny met personally with Humza Yousaf
to press him to back law change.

2023 WAS A YEAR WE OPENED POLITICIANS’ EYES TO THE SCALE OF SUFFERING FACED BY
DYING PEOPLE, AND EXPANDED OUR MOVEMENT CALLING FOR COMPASSION AND CHOICE. NONE
OF THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT DETERMINED PEOPLE LIKE YOU.
BUT OUR WORK IS NOT DONE YET. WILL YOU BECOME A DIGNITY IN DYING MEMBER AND
POWER CAMPAIGNS THAT PRESS MPS TO TAKE ACTION ON THE SUFFERING OF DYING PEOPLE
LEFT WITHOUT A CHOICE?

While we’ve had so many incredible successes this year, I have to be honest: it hasn’t been easy . Changing the law – and making history – is never straightforward, and our
movement had to overcome a lot of obstacles to get here.



Every step of the way, there are anti-choice opponents snapping at our heels,
trying to undo all the progress we’ve made towards law change. Unexpected delays
in the legislative process mean that we need to work hard to keep up the
momentum and push our campaign forward.



But with a General Election on the horizon, 2024 could be a breakthrough year
for our campaign to press politicians of all parties to back choice for dying
people.

{USER_DATA~FIRST NAME~FRIEND}, HUNDREDS OF DYING PEOPLE IN BRITAIN ARE COUNTING
ON OUR MOVEMENT TO FIGHT FOR THEIR RIGHT TO CHOOSE. WE’RE ON THE CUSP OF
HISTORIC CHANGE - WE CAN’T BE COMPLACENT NOW.
WILL YOU BECOME A DIGNITY IN DYING MEMBER AND FIGHT TO GIVE CHOICE AND CONTROL
TO TERMINALLY ILL PEOPLE WHO GO THROUGH UNNECESSARY SUFFERING AS THEY DIE?
Yes, I'll become a member →

Thanks, Friend. I hope that you can look back on this
year with pride. Together, we’ll make sure that 2024 will be another year that
our movement will be proud of.
