Good afternoon friend,
Since the landmark 4th July debate where MPs who spoke in support of assisted
dying outnumbered opponents two to one, we’ve been laying down plans to
capitalise on this success.
We need a free and fair debate on assisted dying. One that is not constrained by
an archaic process that’s easily manipulated by opponents to block progress. To
achieve this, we need to secure time for any future assisted dying bill to be fully
scrutinised, debated, and brought to a vote. We need political parties to pledge to Make Time for Assisted Dying [CF link].
This is not a small ask. We need to attract the attention of MPs, party members
and senior party officials. To do that we need you. Can you chip in £25 today, or whatever you can, to help
make assisted dying an election issue?
Yes, I'll donate £25 today → [[link removed]]
What we really need is for all political parties to commit to making time for
assisted dying in black and white. This means securing a promise in every major
party manifesto.
This process starts at political party conferences in 5 weeks time. With your
support, Dignity in Dying can be there with the resources to make a splash and
get the major parties to start seeing assisted dying as an issue they can’t
ignore - an election issue.
We need 1,200 people to donate £25 to hit our target - that works out at just two people per MP. I know that now is a difficult time
for a lot of people - if you can spare even £3, it would get us that much closer
to our goal.

With a new Prime Minister just around the corner, politicians are under more
scrutiny than ever for their decision making and a general election could be
called much earlier than expected. We must make our voices heard to ensure MPs
don’t forget dying people when a general election is called.
I’ll be in touch this week with more information about what you can do to back
the launch of this new campaign and ensure it is the success it needs to be.
Thank you in advance for backing us - this campaign [CF link] could get us what we need to take assisted dying to the finish line
in this country.
In gratitude,
Sadie Kempner
