Stephanie Campbell will speak at the Sept. 4 meeting
HUMANIST SOCIETY
The Leisure World Humanist Association will meet on Sunday, Sept. 4, at 10:30 a.m. in Clubhouse 3, Room 1. All residents are welcome to attend. Stephanie Campbell will speak on the recent changes to the “End of Life Option Act,” commonly called the “Death with Dignity Law,” that went into effect on June 9, 2016. This law allows all adult California residents to request a drug from their physicians that will end their lives. In October 2021, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed SB380, which made significant changes to California’s End of Life Option Act.
Campbell is a founding member of the Orange County chapter of Americans for Separation of Church and State. She is currently president of the chapter and a former member of the National Board of Trustees, where she chaired the governance committee.
Additionally, Campbell is a volunteer for the League of Women Voters, where she chairs the Speakers Bureau and is responsible for presentations on ballot propositions. She is also the County Action coordinator for Compassion and Choices speaking for both organizations.
Prior to her work with Americans United, she was active with the ACLU on religious rights, reproductive rights and LGBTQ+ rights and is a former board member of Planned Parenthood. Campbell is also a tutor for adults through the READ Orange County program as well as the Friends of Costa Mesa Libraries.
