1. Oppose the passage of S1384/H2381 in MA, @[LEGISLATOR]! Legalizing assisted suicide will result in unnecessary death and the coercion and endangerment of thousands of MA residents with disabilities.

2. Did you know that the top 5 most reported reasons for dying by assisted suicide have nothing to do with pain, but with disability-related assumptions? Ableism kills. Disabled people need support, not #MurderByMedicine. Learn more here: https://second-thoughts.org/why-massachusetts-should-reject-assisted-suicide/resources/

3. Tell legislators on the Health Care Financing Committee that disabled people are #NotABurden . Learn more and take action against dangerous assisted suicide laws here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Dhjt4r357omrmvjji3EW_YOdbX_ELHl9/edit?usp=sharing&ouid=112385030863611399223&rtpof=true&sd=true .

4. Nothing in S1384/H2381 can stop a bad actor from steering someone towards assisted suicide, picking up the lethal dose, and even administering the drug — no witnesses are required at the death. Tell legislators not to pass this dangerous bill!

5. We can protect disabled people from #MurderByMedicine, but we need your help. Tell legislators on the Health Care Financing Committee to vote NO on S1384/H2381! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jfMcicz2ntaTJL7BKK1Sd8qVTEdGcLGtrWaUdLu0sQw/edit?usp=sharing
