ALT A title slide with text: ‘The UK disability rights movement has a long history of fighting assisted suicide bills. Swipe for some historical protest photos.’ Below is a photo of three wheelchair users and two standing people holding posters and a banner that says ‘Disabled People want independent living, not assisted dying! No to death, yes to ILF (Independent Living Fund)’

ALT A graphic with text ‘This photo, and the one on the last slide, are from 2014 protests organised by Not Dead Yet against the assisted suicide bill being debated at the time, and the government’s decision to close the Independent Living Fund (ILF). Protesters hold signs saying ‘I was a burden,’ ‘I had no support,’ ‘I was coerced,’ and ‘Who will be next?’’

ALT ‘Also in 2014, activists used empty wheelchairs and piles of shoes to reference Nazi eugenics programs which killed disabled people, Jewish people, and other marginalized groups during World War II. Disabled people were targeted due to being framed as ‘burdens’ on society. Sound familiar?’ A photo shows empty wheelchairs with the same signs described on the previous slide, and piles of shoes.

ALT ‘Baroness Jane Campbell and others, pictured here protesting one outside Parliament in the 1990s, have staved off assisted suicide bills for decades. Their posters echo those of today.’ A photo shows people holding signs that say ‘Not Dead Yet,' ‘Compassion not killing,' ‘No legalised killing,’ and ‘Say no to assisted dying, say yes to care.’
