Rally 29th November 2024

Join the Rally: Protest Against the Leadbeater Bill.

 

A crucial rally on College Green outside Parliament will occur on November 29th from 9:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Supporters from across the country will gather to protest against a change in the law on assisted suicide. 

 

This rally is more than a protest; it’s a declaration that disabled lives are valuable and must be protected against policies that could diminish that value. Together, we’ll raise our voices and demand the dignity, rights, and respect disabled people deserve.

 

This isn’t just about showing up on the day—it’s about amplifying our message in every way possible.

Why Your Voice Matters

Assisted suicide legislation doesn’t just pose a theoretical risk—it challenges the worth and dignity of disabled lives, framing our community as ‘better off dead’ in vulnerable moments. Each voice that speaks out helps counteract this dangerous narrative and strengthens our stand for a society that values all lives equally.
