Calls to Action

As Humanists, we need to support and speak up about what matters to us.

Support advance requests for medical assistance in dying

People’s wishes, as expressed in their Health Care Directives, should be respected.

Sign the petition to the House of Commons here.

Demand a nation-wide ban on gay conversion therapy

Sign the petition to the House of Commons here.

Demand an end to forced patient transfers for assisted dying

Let your premier know that you want that changed.
