We will be joining other Compassion & Choices supporters from around the state to tell our legislators how important it is to New Yorkers that end-of-life options be expanded to include medical aid in dying.

This is your chance to help us win! If you’re new to this — no problem! We’ll pair you up with experienced volunteers and provide you with all the background information you’ll need to be up to speed on the issues. You’ll find that these meetings are very interesting and not intimidating at all!

Advance Registration is important to allow for planning and training.

Advocacy Announcement:

Spring 2019 Advocacy Activity

The 2019 campaign to pass the Medical Aid in Dying Act in New York is now in high gear. We’ve already had two special Death with Dignity–Albany lobby days, on February 26 and April 9, with some very productive visits with new legislators. And, both the recent approval of a similar law in New Jersey and the expression of support by Governor Cuomo have added new momentum.

Coming up on Tuesday, May 14 is 2019 Spring Lobby Day, organized by the Compassion & Choices New York Campaign. We will be joining other supporters from around the state to tell our legislators how important it is to New Yorkers that end-of-life options be expanded to include medical aid in dying. Sharing personal stories with lawmakers in the state capital is how New Jersey was won, and we need to do the same here in New York.

This is your chance to help us win! If you’re new to this — no problem! We’ll pair you up with experienced volunteers and provide you with all the background information you’ll need to be up to speed on the issues. You’ll find that these meetings are very interesting and not intimidating at all. Bring a friend! Recruit your neighbors and colleagues!

To register and obtain further details, please email info@deathwithdignityalbany.org

It is important that you register as soon as possible to allow for planning. Compassion & Choices will be providing talking points and materials — including a signature yellow T-shirt. Also, before May 14 there will be a webinar for attendees to go over the important details of the day.
