Advocacy is most powerful when it starts at the community level and begins with you. Your voice has the power to inform and influence those around you to pay attention to issues that are passionate and meaningful to you. Whether you’re speaking to a neighbor, sharing information on social media, or mobilizing a group of supporters, every action you take moves us toward a future where Death with Dignity is safeguarded as a fundamental right.

With the help of our Death with Dignity Volunteer Toolkit and the Death with Dignity Social Media Toolkit, you can make an impact right where you are — whether you’re new to advocacy or a seasoned advocate looking to take your efforts to the next level. These resources provide guidance, templates, and strategies to help you confidently share your support for Death with Dignity laws and educate others about why this issue matters.

Engaging Your Community with the Volunteer Toolkit

The Volunteer Toolkit is your step-by-step guide to grassroots advocacy. It includes information about:

  • Hosting a Meetup – People join the Death with Dignity movement for all kinds of reasons, and hosting a meetup is a great way to share yours while connecting with others. It’s an opportunity to bring people together, hear their stories, and have meaningful conversations about how we can improve the dying experience in this country. Whether it’s a small gathering with friends or a larger community event, meetups create space for important discussions that can make a real impact.
  • Talking About Dying – Talking about death and end-of-life options is the first step to breaking the stigma. In addition to a meetup, there are many ways to connect with others through conversation and action. Our Volunteer Toolkit equips you with multiple ways to start the conversation about end-of-life options and connect with others.
  • Using Powerful Language – The words we use matter. When talking about Death with Dignity, you might hear a lot of different terms — some used to misrepresent the law, others misused by the media. We’re here to clear things up, breaking down the preferred terms like “aid in dying” and explaining why terms like “assisted suicide” or “euthanasia” are misleading and inaccurate.

When you engage with your community, you help build a stronger, more informed movement. Whether you share your personal story, educate your local faith group, or encourage a friend to take action, you contribute to educating the public about Death with Dignity, a key component of grassroots organizing.

Harnessing the Power of Social Media

As a Death with Dignity advocate, you have the power to help create a future where everyone has the freedom and autonomy to make their own end-of-life decisions. In today’s digital age, social media is a powerful tool for advocacy. Our Social Media Toolkit provides:

From impactful quotes to state-specific graphics, we’ve got you covered for posting on a variety of social media platforms.
  • Hashtag Strategies – Using hashtags is a great way to reach more people and make your posts easier to find. It also helps us spot your content and share it on our channels! Check out our tips on the best hashtags to use for our movement.
  • Engagement Tips – Social media is more than just posting—it’s about starting conversations. Our toolkit includes tips on how to engage with comments, respond to questions, and connect with others to grow support for the Death with Dignity movement.

Posting a personal story, sharing legislative updates, or pushing back against misinformation sparks conversations, shifts perspectives, and brings more people into the medical aid in dying movement.
