Yay France!

On July 15, France's National Assembly approved an aid-in-dying law after years of public debate and advocacy. If upheld following constitutional review, the law will allow eligible adults with incurable, advanced illnesses to have the option of an assisted death under strict safeguards.

Our CEO, Peg Sandeen, reflected on this milestone after meeting with French Minister Agnès Firmin-Le Bodo in 2023 to discuss Oregon's decades of experience with medical aid in dying.

Read more about what this means for France, how the law differs from the U.S. model, and the growing model for dignity at the end of life. https://tinyurl.com/mups8vun

🚨 CONGRESS IS WRITING THE CONTINUING RESOLUTION (CR) THIS WEEK 🚨

The decisions about whether a h**p extension is included are being made right now.

This may be our best opportunity to secure a two-year extension of the current November 12 deadline.

Without an extension, most of the h**p products Americans legally purchase today could become unavailable beginning November 12.
This would be the end of our business and most others that have been building a community with legal access for 8+years.

The White House has called on Congress to extend the implementation deadline. Now Congress needs to hear from the people they represent.

⏱ Take 3 Minutes. Complete 2 Actions.
📧 1. Send Your Letter

Text SIGN PVMWIZ to 50409

A letter will automatically be prepared and sent to your U.S. Representative and both of your U.S. Senators.

📞 2. Call Both of Your Senators

Capitol Switchboard: 202-224-3121

Ask for each of your Senators and say:

"I am a constituent from [City, State]. Please ensure the upcoming government funding bill includes a two-year extension of the Section 781 implementation date, from November 12, 2026, to November 12, 2028. This matters to me because [one sentence]."

This Week Matters

Congress is drafting this legislation now. Once it's finalized, the opportunity to include this extension may be gone.

Whether you're a consumer, patient, veteran, farmer, retailer, manufacturer, or simply someone who believes adults should have access to legal h**p products, your voice matters.

Please take three minutes today to send a letter, make two quick phone calls, and encourage others to do the same.

Every message helps. Every call counts.

Love this!

This is what community is all about!

Atlanta resident Nicky Crawford is helping bring dignity and care to the city’s unhoused community through Flowing with Blessings.

After launching free mobile shower trailers, Crawford worked with Georgia Tech student engineers to turn a school bus into a mobile laundry room for those in need.
