The March for Life in Washington D.C. is the world’s largest pro-life event. As important as it is that you show your support for life on the national level by marching together with us in D.C., it’s just as important that you make an impact for the pro-life cause at the state and local level. The March for Life has several official state capital March for Life events in 2020, and there are dozens of local marches happening in January if you can’t make it to the nation’s capital. You can find local evets below. You can also text MARCH to 73-075 so that you’ll always be up to date on March for Life events close to you!
- Show support to our children. Psalms 139:13-14 says
13 For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
- Stand up for the unborn. Abortions are killing an entire generation. It is estimated that 40-50 million abortions are taking place every year in the world. In America alone, about 50 million plus babies were aborted since Jan 22, 1973 when the supreme court made it legal to kill an unborn.
- As Syro-Malabar Christians, who are living in USA, let us join hands with those who are protesting abortion tomorrow, Januray 24 in Washington D.C.
- As many of our own children who initiated the trip are not able to join because of their examinations, we invite everyone who is able to attend to fill up the bus. Donors have made it possible to make the trip free of cost to anyone who can spare one day of their time.
- The bus will leave tomorrow at 6am from the church and will return in the evening. Please reserve your seat by emailing to thomas.a.thottukadavil@
gmail.com or by calling at 973-725-0915 First come first served. Our bus will not go with empty seats. - If you are not able to join, please pray for those who are going. Let us also pray for the unborn. About 5000 plus abortions are being performed every hour in the world. Let us do something to protest the crime against the unborn.
We will be starting the bus from 408 Getty Ave, Paterson parking lot at 6am tomorrow. There is no charge. Whoever wants to, can donate.
EVENTS
We Are Messengers Pre-rally Concert
The March for Life Education and Defense Fund is pleased to announce We Are Messengers will be headlining a pre-rally concert at 47th annual March for Life on January 24, 2020. The band has played around the globe, been nominated for prestigious Christian music awards, and boasts numerous hit singles.
Rally and March
This is the main event! The March for Life Rally kicks off at noon at 12th St. on the National Mall. Immediately following the Rally—usually around 1 p.m.—we march peacefully up Constitution Ave. After marching, consider attending the Silent No More testimonies outside the U.S. Supreme Court, or advocating for life to your Representative or Senators.
Conference
The March for Life Conference helps marchers dive more deeply into the year’s theme, equipping you with the tools you need to return to your community and make a difference for life.
Expo
The March for Life Expo is a great opportunity for you to connect with a whole host of pro-life organizations and ministries.
Youth Rally
The Youth Rally is an awesome chance for students to hear from leaders in the pro-life movement, learn how to become advocates for life, and immerse themselves in the culture of life.
Rose Dinner
An evening of inspiration and fellowship, the Rose Dinner is the perfect way to conclude your March for Life experience in our Nation’s Capital.
