West Dorset marks anniversary of historic Commons vote on assisted dying — local campaigners thank MP & call on Lords to “finish the work they started”
Local volunteers of Dignity in Dying in West Dorset will gather on Saturday 29th November to mark one year since MPs made history by voting in favour of Kim Leadbeater’s Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life Choice) Bill at its Second Reading — the first time such a Bill has progressed beyond this stage in the House of Commons.
This local action, part of a nationwide day of action coordinated by Dignity in Dying, will commemorate and celebrate how far the movement has come. It will also give local volunteers the opportunity to thank their local MPs for their support in voting for the Bill. Volunteers are also calling on the House of Lords to deliver the change our elected MPs and the public overwhelmingly support.
Local media are invited to attend and are welcome to interview local volunteers who support the bill for many different reasons.
Details of timings and location can be found below.
