Life is a Gift
Our theme for the 2026 March for Life offers a fresh vision, inviting all people to rediscover the beauty, goodness, and joy of life itself.
Every January at the National March for Life, countless marchers from across the country and around the world unite in celebration of the gift of human life—radiating hope, unity, and a spirit that transcends politics. This is why our 2026 March for Life theme is Life is a Gift, emphasizing what lies at the heart of the pro-life movement—an unshakeable conviction that life is very good and worthy of protection, no matter the circumstances. Life is a Gift invites everyone to embrace life as something to be cherished and celebrated from the very beginning.
We invite you to be swept up into this movement of joy and celebration. Watch the video and join us on Friday, January 23, 2026, as we march together in Washington, D.C., joyfully declaring to the nation: Life is a Gift.
