Things You Can Do

The updated Medical Aid in Dying Act was introduced in the Assembly and Senate (A4321 and S6471) in early 2021. The Assembly Health Committee had previously held public hearings in Albany and New York City (Spring 2018), and individual and organizational support continue to grow. You can help by taking action now:

• Contact Your Legislators
  Let your Assembly member and your Senator know that you’d like them to support the bill. Write, email, or call their offices. Personal stories are very powerful—tell them why you care so much about this issue. You can find out who is your Assembly member at assembly.state.ny.us/mem/search/ and your Senator at www.nysenate.gov/find-my-senator , and those searches lead you to contact information.
• Write Letters
  Letters to the Editor are widely read and have real impact. It’s not that difficult to get published, especially locally. The Times Union accepts submissions at tuletters@timesunion.com and essays at tucommentary@timesunion.com
