If we are going to continue to make progress in all of our many activities to improve end-of-life care and expand options for all of us at life’s end, we need to engage in many more efforts. We need your help to do so.

1. We need more members and supporters. Please consider making a contribution to Compassion & Choices of Northern California. Please list the names of friends or relatives, potential members or potential donors, on the form below, with your permission to use your name if we contact them.

2. We would like to make more presentations. Please consider connections you have to religious, community, civic groups, professional organizations, businesses, colleges, and senior groups. All kinds of groups are interested in learning about our issues. Please submit potential groups for presentations using the form below.

3. Do you have connections to anyone in the media? Tell us your media contacts using the form below. If you see a story or column on end-of-life issues, write a letter to the editor, or let us know of your interest and we can help prepare a letter for you or for us to send.

4. Do you have connections to sympathetic health care and other relevant professionals including, doctors, nurses, social workers, psychologists, and lawyers? We need to know who they are so we can inform them about Compassion & Choices and hopefully speak to the organizations they belong to. Please tell us your health care contacts, using the form below.

5. Be a good will ambassador with your friends, neighbors, relatives, and colleagues. When you are with family and friends, talk about this movement and about Compassion & Choices specifically. Tell them how important it is to have a health care proxy and that we can supply them with the necessary forms and provide guidance in completing them. Tell your loved ones we can help with pain management and end-of-life issues. And please, share your stories with us!
