Our latest newsletter provides a letter from Matt Vallière, a state status report, and the latest news. In this issue, you can read about the events we hosted with actress Liz Carr in Washington, DC, as well as an interview with Inclusion Canada.

UK actress and advocate Liz Carr, along with our Executive Director, Matt Vallière are quoted in this article. Liz Carr "says she 'can't count' the number of similar stories she’s heard from people who are suffering not from their disabilities but from lack of supports to live. When the disabled seek help to lead dignified lives only to be offered [assisted suicide] – which is both cheap and available – their sense of worth plummets, Carr adds."

"The Canadian state is euthanizing its poor and disabled today, as physician-assisted death has increasingly become an option for those suffering under structural oppression — a grim reality disability rights advocates have warned about for years, tied to the failures of liberal democracy and its free-market underpinnings."

"Instead of foisting assisted suicide on healthcare professionals who don’t want it, and vulnerable people who deserve better, why don’t we do something really progressive by prioritizing palliative care?"

PRAF is a leading national, non-partisan single-issue organization that protects the rights of patients, people with disabilities, older adults, and other historically underrepresented groups from deadly harm and discrimination inherent in assisted suicide laws.
