Three Week Warning on National March for Life/ Pre and Post Events Part 1

Every year pro-lifers look forward to gather in Washington, DC for the annual March for Life. More than half a century old, the annual event is seen as an annual opportunity for por-lifers to recommit in helping build a Culture of Life in their state. The event in DC will be held on Friday January 23rd. Many hotels are close to being booked if one is planning to make a long weekend out of it. 

Be sure to book now if not done already. 

Here is the schedule for the day of the March for Life with Bethany Hamilton to be the keynote speaker
 
11:00 a.m. – Pre-Rally Concert ft. Unspoken

12:00 p.m. – Rally

1:00 p.m. – March for Life

Like the past two marches, the route will pass by the Rayburn Building and ending on the other side of the Supreme Court. 

This year's March's theme is “Every Life: Why We March”. Accroding to the March for Life Foundation's press release, the theme, "will be a source of the renewed energy and focus so needed for this moment."

We march, not for ourselves, but rather for the pregnant women across the country who are in need of love and support. We march for the innocent unborn children who deserve a chance to live, to have a future, if only they are given the chance. We march also for our neighbors, co-workers, and elected officials who do not yet see the truth: that all human life is intrinsically valuable and worthy of protection.
