Sign the petition to the Scottish Parliament
MSPs are your representatives. To help defeat the Assisted Suicide Bill, the most effective action you can take is to write to your MSPs to make known your opposition. It’s always best to write in your own words, but nothing complicated is required. All you need to do is state your opposition to the bill and ask where your MSP stands on the issue. You can give specific reasons why you oppose the bill, especially ones personal to you, but it is not essential. Remember that you have a number of regional list MSPs as well as your constituency MSP – they are all waiting to hear from you!
To find your MSPs’ contact details simply click here and enter your postcode.
