Following this past Sunday worship, members of the All Souls Unitarian Church in NYC held an event to send postcards encouraging @GovKathyHochul to sign the #MedicalAidinDying Act as soon as it reaches her desk!

Our NY team was at the annual New York State Fair last weekend to get the word out about what’s next for #MedicalAidinDying in the state. @GovKathyHochul, please sign this bill as soon as it reaches your desk!
SCOTUS ruled Medicaid enrollees can’t challenge harmful care restrictions. This threatens access to trusted hospice, home health and palliative care providers. Read more: compassionandchoices.org/news/supreme-c… #SCOTUS #Medicaid #EndOfLifeCare #PatientRights
NY Assemblymember @EmilyAssembly keeps those she loves in the back of her mind when she thinks about #MedicalAidinDying. For her, it’s about “what is best for the people we love and allowing them to live a full life of dignity, which includes our death.”
Josh Roth's grandmother had no will in place when she died, so his family had to figure out what she would have wanted done with all of her assets. Give your loved ones the gift of peace. Create your will today, free of charge! freewill.com/compassionandc…
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.
At their best, faith communities are sacred spaces for connection and reflection. That’s why we created Faith at the Threshold — a free toolkit to help faith leaders bring end-of-life programming to their congregations. ✨Download your free copy today! CandC.org/FaithToolkit
“They buried him, honoring a life that wasn’t true to who he was.” When someone dies without an advance directive, chosen family can be shut out. Read how it happened, and how we can stop it from happening again: compassionandchoices.org/news/who-decid…
Anticipating passing the #MedicalAidinDying Act, NY bill sponsor, @bradhoylman said this was: “about personal autonomy. This is about liberty. This is about exercising one's own freedom to control one's own body.” @GovKathyHochul, NYers want choice at the end of their lives!
We were so proud to see our Latino Leadership Council at #UnidosUS25 last week. Thank you @WeAreUnidosUS for creating space to lead, connect and build together! Compassion & Choices is honored to have supported as a sponsor. 💛
Creating a will isn’t about how much you own, it’s about making sure your beliefs and priorities are honored and that your loved ones are protected. You can use FreeWill’s online tool to easily create a will at no cost! candc.link/MakeAWillMonth #MakeAWillMonth #EstatePlanning
In passing the #MedicalAidinDying Act, @AmyPaulin, the bill’s sponsor in the NY Assembly, called the moment her proudest achievement: “not because it was the most difficult bill... because this bill, this soon to be law, achieves something for all New Yorkers.”
