Act now to stop assisted suicide

31 October 2024

This autumn, MPs will be voting on a matter of life and death.

A private members’ Bill to legalise assisted suicide is currently going through parliament. If passed, this would mark a very significant change in our culture and its attitude towards suicide.

Similar bills have been rejected in recent years but the challenge now is greater than ever.

Act now to stand for life by opposing suicide.

Speak to your MP

Most MPs hold surgeries where you can meet them and explain your concerns.

This is the most powerful way to ask your MP to oppose this bill.

By attending your MP’s surgery, you can gently present your view to them, and they will be required to consider what you say and may even be confronted with a perspective they had not considered.

You can find out who your MP is and how to contact them using the link below. MPs usually share how to attend a surgery on their own websites, but you can always email them to ask.

If you cannot meet face-to-face with your MP, please write to them.

On Monday 4 November we held a workshop to help you with this and received helpful feedback in turn. Do watch it back below to know how best to approach your MP.

In either case, please engage your MP with truth and love, using the resources below.
