3 Ways a Pro-Life Advocate Can Kick Off the New Year

We are only three weeks away from the National National Pro-Life March AND the National Pro-Life Summit! You’d never know it by watching the mainstream media, but this journey to Washington, D.C. is an annual tradition for about a million pro-life Americans. This massive gathering braves the cold around the anniversary of Roe v. Wade to protest abortion’s legalization.

And this year, as Roe moves ever closer to the trashcan, this experience is going to be bigger than EVER before. There are three major things you’ll need to consider when planning your pilgrimage to Washington, D.C. this year.

#1: The National Pro-Life March

This year’s National Pro-Life March takes place on Friday, January 24th, 2020. There is a rally preceding the March that begins at 12:00PM, and the March starts around 1:00PM with an approximate end time of 4:00PM. This event is the largest human rights gathering in the world. And it is the perfect way to kick off your pro-life experience at our nation’s capital.

You could be a part of this:

You’ll definitely see us there – look for our huge black-and-white banners near the front of the March! And make sure to get an “I Am the Pro-Life Generation” sign from us. Members of our team will be distributing them all around the pre-March Rally site.

#2: The National Pro-Life Summit

Students for Life used to host our SFLA National Conference (for over a decade, actually). But at this dawn of a new decade where tons of exciting things are happening for LIFE, we have transformed this event. In the name of unity and teamwork between the pro-life movement, we have partnered with three other pro-life powerhouse organizations (Live Action, Alliance Defending Freedom, and Heritage Foundation) to bring you the National Pro-Life Summit – the biggest pro-life training event of its kind in the world.
