YOU’RE INVITED TO MY CELEBRATION
This marks the official end of my 90th birthday celebration. Please help me celebrate #91.
All I want for my birthday is for EVERYONE in the State of California to know of the legal right to Medical Aid in Dying. Easy peasy present for you to give me and everyone you know and love in California! (And/or 10 other states, more on that below.)
SUCH A CRITICAL HUMAN RIGHT, AND WE DON’T KNOW WE HAVE IT?
Before the California End of Life Option Act took effect, on June 9, 2016 (another birthday to celebrate!) I spent a good 5 or 10 years of my life working to make it happen. Pulling on yellow T-shirts, roaming around Sacramento, the whole activist thing. Gov Jerry Brown signed it into law, said he “couldn’t deny (Californians) the right.”
AT LEAST EVERYBODY SHOULD KNOW WE HAVE THIS RIGHT, RIGHT? A mere 25% of the good citizens of California even know such a right exists. Please help change that statistic.
My favorite California nonprofit, End of Life Choices CA, helps people know & understand all of their legal end-of-life options. (Among a LOT of other good works.) Other states, in addition to Washington DC, where MAiD is legal are Maine, New Jersey, Vermont, New Mexico, Montana, Colorado, Oregon, Washington, California, and Hawaii. Maybe you want to help some of them know their rights!
