On Friday 11 September, MPs will be debating the Assisted Suicide Bill. Not Dead Yet UK will be at Parliament Square — and we are asking our supporters to help us make sure MPs hear from the people this Bill would affect most.


You can do two things. Come and stand with us. And contact your MP.


Come to Parliament Square on 11 September

We'll be gathering from 8:30 am. The demonstration runs until approximately 3 pm. Come for an hour, come for the whole day — whatever you can manage will make a difference.


T-shirts and placards will be available on the day, so just bring yourself.

Please be aware that Dignity in Dying will also be in the area, and we may share some of the space. Please stay calm, stay focused, and let our presence speak for itself. We always conduct ourselves with dignity — and that matters.


Getting there

The nearest tube station is Westminster (Jubilee, Circle and District lines) — it's right on the square's doorstep. Westminster station has step-free access from street to platform.


Alternatively, St James's Park and Embankment stations are both a short walk away.

By bus, routes 3, 11, 12, 24, 87, 88, 148, 159 and 453 all stop close by. Look for the Westminster Station or Westminster Abbey stops.


Contact your MP — it takes two minutes

Can't come in person? You can still make your voice heard.

Visit action.notdeadyetuk.org to send your MP a postcard or email asking them to vote against the Bill. It's quick, simple, and it works.


Is your MP on our target list?

We've identified a group of key MPs whose votes could be particularly significant. If your MP is on the list, we'd especially welcome you making direct contact — either by requesting a meeting or by using the action link above.

A message from a constituent carries real weight. Please don't underestimate it.


Hear from our supporters — and share their voices

This week we're also releasing short clips from people who know exactly why this Bill matters. Our supporters, disabled people, carers and allies are talking in their own words about why they oppose a change in the law.

Keep an eye on our social media channels for these posts, and if one speaks to you, please share it with your own networks. The more people who hear these voices, the better. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/14pYKSRtSCj/


Encouraging news — coming soon

We recently ran a poll, and the results are genuinely heartening. We'll be releasing the findings later this week.

 

Whether you come to Parliament Square, contact your MP, or simply share this page — it all counts.


We'll be the ones in the T-shirts.

Convenor, Not Dead Yet UK
