Yousseff Cohen, a retired NYU professor, had to travel to Oregon to access #MedicalAidinDying for which he so desperately longed. We ask @GovKathyHochul to sign the Medical Aid in Dying Act, so that no other New Yorker must travel across state borders.
Andrew Batavia fought for autonomy. He fought for people with disabilities. Share with us why you fight for end-of-life choices: Who are you fighting for? join.compassionandchoices.org/a/why-we-fight #ADA
Register today for the Compassion & Choices National Center for #MedicalAidInDying's webinar, which celebrates our legislative wins, takes stock of our ongoing campaigns and previews what more can be done this year! join.compassionandchoices.org/a/natlweb072425 #HealthJustice #EndOfLifeOptions
New York’s #MedicalAidInDying Act was passed by the Assembly in a historic 81-67 vote April 29 and then by the Senate on a 35-27 vote June 9. The bill waits for @GovKathyHochul to sign it into law. Urge Gov. Hochul to sign as soon as possible! bit.ly/3GwZmbx
2025 has been a landmark year for the #EndOfLife options movement, with both New York and Delaware passing #MedicalAidInDying legislation. These victories were made possible by the hard work and dedication of our advocates. Thank you for making history with us!
SB 403, the bill to make California's #EndOfLife Option Act permanent, passed the Senate and waits for the Assembly. This bill is a vital step in honoring Brittany Maynard’s legacy so no Californian is forced to leave their home, like she did, to access their chosen care.
After another poll finds majority support for #MedicalAidinDying @corinnecarey says: "@GovKathyHochul has the opportunity to do the right thing on the merits, which also happens to be the position of the majority of New York voters. Win, win." fingerlakes1.com/2025/07/02/sie…
Miguel was a passionate advocate for medical aid in dying, but without the means to move to a state where it was legal, he died without the compassionate end-of-life option he so strongly believed in. Today, his mother Nilsa advocates to honor his legacy.
BREAKING: The #MedicalAidinDying Act (S.138) has passed in the NY State Senate! With this historic vote, New Yorkers may soon have access to the full suite of end-of-life care options they deserve. The bill now moves to @GovKathyHochul's desk to hopefully be signed into law!
🧵 1/4: We have great news! The Compassion & Choices and Compassion & Choices Action Network boards are delighted to announce that we have officially appointed Kevin Díaz as the president and CEO of both organizations.
Medical aid in dying is supported by many organizations including the New York State Academy of Family Physicians. The NYSAFP President said “physicians have an obligation to relieve human suffering and care for our patients with compassion & respect for human dignity.”
Dr. Jeremy Boal, Former Chief Clinical Officer of the Mount Sinai Health System and resident of Columbia County, received a diagnosis of ALS at the height of his career and in the prime of his life. Now, he advocates for access to #MedicalAidinDying in NY. empirereportnewyork.com/as-a-doctor-wi…
The bill to make California’s End of Life Option Act permanent has passed the Senate Appropriations Committee. SB 403 is a vital step in honoring Brittany Maynard’s legacy so no Californian is forced to leave their home, like she did, to access their chosen end-of-life care.
After a tornado touched down in Springfield, advocates and lawmakers alike sought shelter from the storm. For too many Illinoisans, the storm is end-of-life suffering. They deserve options. Contact your IL lawmakers. Nature doesn’t wait—neither should we. bit.ly/44ZhDIq
Stacey advocates for medical aid in dying after her husband died without an option. "I do not know what choice I personally will make when faced with my own death. What I do know though is that I want a choice." Tell NY legislators that you want a choice. buff.ly/3CJnPbT
