Tim Appleton: The Fight to Expand End-of-Life Options in our Country and State
Monday, October 13, 2025 at the HFFC Monthly Featured-Speaker Program
7:00 PM program. Hybrid meeting (in-person and virtual)

On Monday, October 13, 2025 Humanists and Freethinkers of Fairfield County (HFFC) will feature Tim Appleton, Senior Campaign Director of Compassion & Choices, Connecticut. Tim will discuss the movement to improve and expand end-of-life care options – including medical aid in dying – across the United States and locally in Connecticut. He will also explain how we can support the campaign to bring this time-tested, compassionate healthcare option to terminally ill adults living in the Nutmeg State.

Beginning his career as a staffer in the Connecticut State Legislature, Tim Appleton has worked on campaigns to advance medical aid in dying legislation with Compassion & Choices for ten years. His work has also contributed to the passage of two separate medical aid in dying bills tin Delaware and New York.

This meeting is free and open to all.  Join us at the Wilton (Connecticut) Quaker Meetinghouse for the presentation, and stay for the social gathering beforehand.  Gourmet pizza and refreshments will be served from 6:30-7:00 PM. The presentation will start at 7:00. We will also be recording and broadcasting this meeting virtually via Zoom for anyone who is unable to join us in person; check in at 6:45.
