“The anniversary of the Dobbs decision is a special day for the pro-life movement as it commemorates both the end of the unconstitutional Roe decision and the beginning of a new era in which the Culture of Life can take root in America again,” said Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins. “I am excited to celebrate this day alongside my peers, nationally recognized leaders, who have been instrumental partners in achieving life-saving progress, and we’re not finished yet. On Saturday, the pro-life movement will declare our new dream to ensure Protection Under the Fourteenth Amendment for All, born and preborn. And together, we will achieve it.”

Students for Life Action (SFLAction), a 501c4, along with its 501c3 sister organization, Students for Life of America (SFLA), make up the nation’s largest pro-life youth organization and a political and policy operation engaging people of all ages. Together they work to end abortion — the human rights issue of our day — and provide political, legal, and community support for women and their children, born and preborn. Headquartered in Fredericksburg, VA, SFLA has more than 1,400 groups on middle, high school, college, university, medical, and law school campuses in all 50 states. SFLA creates strategy, policy, and programming to connect those most targeted for abortion with people ready to help and builds a framework for political engagement on their behalf. SFLA and SFLAction have more conversations with those most targeted by the abortion industry than any other pro-life outreach in the world, reaching more than 2 million people across social media platforms each week and engaging in approximately 100,000 digital conversations per month. Over more than 16 years, President Kristan Hawkins has grown SFLAction/SFLA into an $18 million organization preparing for a Post-Roe America.
