January 10, 2022: Compassion & Choices Campaign Director Amanda Cavanaugh and a small group of supporters delivered over 4,000 signed petitions in support of the Medical Aid in Dying Act to the Governor’s Office in the State Capitol.
The petitions were received in the nearby War Room by Matt Pennello, the Director of Cabinet Affairs. Governor Hochul has not yet stated her views on the Act.
Included among the supporters were three Death with Dignity–Albany members (Mary Applegate, Thad Mirer, and Connie Wilbur), plus others from Saratoga and New York City.
