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’
This pseudo-scientific practice is ineffective and inflicts mental, emotional and physical harm on children.
Sign the petition to the House of Commons here.
Demand an End to “Faith-Based” Health Care
