Not Dead Yet News & Commentary: Chicago NDY Visits Final Exit Network's Annual Meeting

 

Last Saturday, June 6, the Final Exit Network held its annual meeting at the Sheraton Four Points Hotel in Schiller Park, IL, near Chicago's O'Hare Airport.
Nine disability activists gave up their Saturday, sitting and standing in the chilly drizzle that day. Our numbers were down for 3 major reasons:

1. There wasn't much advance warning for the protest, due to fairly short notice regarding the meeting itself;
2. Many disability activists were at the conference of NCIL - National Council on Independent Living, in Washington, D.C.;
3. Paratransit rides are difficult to get on weekends and the location was a little out of the way.

The numbers were more than enough to do what we set out to do - give a "reality check" to the "assisted suicide ring" aka Final Exit Network (FEN)..
