Good afternoon



Our allies in New Zealand need your help. From 3rd October Kiwis can vote in a referendum to legalise assisted dying.



If you know anyone from New Zealand, anywhere in the world, they are likely to
be eligible to vote and cast a vote for compassion today. Please forward this
email to anyone you know who might be eligible to vote and make sure they’ve
registered.

A majority of New Zealanders support a change in the law. However, as the vote
gets closer the margins are tightening. Every vote will count.



Despite being on the other side of the world, the opponents in New Zealand use
the same tactics as opposition here. This gives us a really good indication of
the fight we must be prepared to put up the next time there is an assisted dying
bill in the UK.



It’s not pretty.



Over the past few months “pro-life” organisations have spent vast amounts of
money on scaremongering billboards, spreading misinformation on social media,
and circulating misleading stories online.



While they intentionally avoid giving religious arguments against assisted
dying, a recent article

Catholic conservative Christian organisations.



A win in New Zealand would demonstrate to Westminster and Holyrood that assisted
dying must be firmly on their agenda. We are quickly becoming left behind as reasonable, compassionate societies
realise that, for dying people, having to choose between options which result in
unbearable suffering is no choice at all.



If you know someone from New Zealand, please ask them to register to Vote Yes
today.

Stay strong - together, we will change the law.
