Our focus:

Delaware, Illinois and New York legalized assisted suicide in 2025. Each state had an excellent team of people working to stop the assisted suicide bill. The assisted suicide lobby is emboldened, as no new state had legalized assisted suicide since New Mexico did in 2021.

A recent assisted suicide lobby online strategy meeting informed us that they plan to introduce assisted suicide legalization bills in 18 US states in 2026. How do we respond?

The Canadian government is scheduled to extend euthanasia to mental illness alone, starting on March 17, 2027. Canada's parliament is debating Bill C-218 that would prevent euthanasia for mental illness. How do we respond?

Aleš Primc
The event features:

Aleš Primc, the organizer of the successful referendum in Slovenia that overturned the assisted suicide law that was passed in the Slovenian parliament. The Slovenian referendum was successful against all projections. Primc will be in Washington DC to share his successful strategy.
