Jim Daly, President of Focus on the Family, and Kaya Jones, speaker and former Pussycat Dolls singer, will both address a nationwide simulcast hosted by Students for Life of America to empower local churches and people of faith to serve mothers and their children, born and preborn.   

“As an ecumenical event, Standing With Her Sunday is a microcosm of the pro-life movement, showing that many different people from different backgrounds can come together for one purpose: to defend life,” said Students for Life of America President Kristan Hawkins. “Our event speakers reflect this, as they come from a wide range of religious perspectives, and I am so proud to have each of them share their testimonies and advice with the Pro-Life Generation. No matter our differences, we are united in advocating for the sanctity of life.”
