Let us be clear: If Bill C-7 comes to fruition, disabled people will die unnecessarily while being denied the supports they need to live.
Canada has consistently failed in providing disabled people dignified access to housing, healthcare, and financial security, as well as freedom from segregation, discrimination, abuse, poverty, and violence.
For years our basic rights have been the subject of political debate, our plights weaponized for political gain. We have yet to see any substantial action to improve our quality of life: our “choice” to die is not a real choice without the supports needed to live.
Enough is enough.
Please join us in participating in a virtual Die-In held via social media to protest Bill C-7.

Create a picture of a tombstone with your disabilities that would qualify you for MAiD, the systems that kill disabled people, or whatever else you would like to say.
Examples:
“Killed for being Autistic, having Ehlers Danlos syndrome, POTS, & CPTSD.”
“Killed by white supremacy, systemic ableism, and forced poverty.”
Whatever feels right for you is what you should use, it’s your tombstone.
