March for Life, Partnered with the California Family Council, Announces 2022 California March for Life

SACRAMENTO, CA – Today the March for Life, partnered with the California Family Council, announced the second annual California March for Life, which will take place on June 22, 2022. Marchers will rally at the Capitol Building to call for an end to pro-abortion extremism in the state and will be addressed by speakers including: Lila Rose, President and Founder of Live Action; Rebekah Hagan, Abortion Pill Reversal Mother and Pro-Life Advocate; David Daleiden, President of Center for Medical Progress; David Bereit, Founder of 40 Days for Life; Louisiana State Senator Katrina Jackson (D-Dis. 34); Rob McCoy, Senior Pastor of Godspeak Calvary Chapel; Dr. Haywood Robinson, Former Abortionist and Director of Medical Affairs and Education at 40 Days for Life; Jonathan Keller, President of the California Family Council; and Erin Getz, Director of the March for Life’s State March Program.

“The March for Life, along with the California Family Council, is delighted to welcome pro-life Californians and our outstanding speakers to the second annual California March for Life as we oppose efforts to make California an abortion destination,” said Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life Defense and Education Fund. “The stakes have never been higher as we await a decision from the Supreme Court in the landmark Dobbs abortion case, which could return abortion legislation back to the people through their elected representatives. The California state legislature will surely witness the devotion and love for women and children, born and unborn, that motivate their pro-life constituents, and we hope their efforts reflect that in a potential post-Roe America.”

“California Family Council is excited to partner with local, state, and national allies to bring the March for Life back to Sacramento this year,” said Jonathan Keller, President of the California Family Council. “With a Supreme Court decision that could overturn Roe v. Wade just around the corner, peaceful pro-life advocates must redouble our efforts to protect unborn children and their mothers. We urge every Californian to join us in person and in prayer on the steps of the Capitol Wednesday, June 22!”

The California March for Life will start with a rally at the State Capitol at 11:00 a.m. PT, followed by a march at 12:00 p.m. PT.  

SPEAKERS INCLUDE: 

  • Lila Rose, President and Founder of Live Action
  • Rebekah Hagan, Abortion Pill Reversal Mother and Pro-Life Advocate

Announcing the Fourth Annual Virginia March for Life

It’s time to mark your calendars for the fourth annual Virginia March for Life! 

We are excited to announce that we are once again partnering with the Family Foundation of Virginia to organize the fourth annual Virginia March for Life on Wednesday, April 27th 2022, in Richmond, VA. We hope you will join us at the state capitol as we rally together to build a culture of life in Virginia, particularly at this pivotal time in history as Roe v. Wade hangs in the balance.

With a new, pro-life administration in power, your voice is all the more critical in encouraging our elected officials to be courageous in enacting life-protective policies for babies and mothers. They are beginning such work! In January,  newly elected Virginia Attorney General Jason Miyares reversed the Commonwealth’s position on Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, a crucial abortion case soon to be decided by the Supreme Court. Under former Governor Northam, Virginia shockingly opposed Mississippi’s Gestational Age Act limiting abortions after 15-weeks; however,  Attorney General Miyares has reversed course arguing that each state should have the right to enact life-affirming laws.

“Pro-life Virginians sent a clear message in November that the days of the abortion industry dominating Richmond are over,” said Victoria Cobb, President of the Family Foundation in Virginia. “But the fight is never over. Our elected officials need to be reminded every day that unborn children in Virginia deserve protection until the day that abortion is not just illegal, its unthinkable.”

RSVP

WHO:

Bishop Barry C. Knestout (Diocese of Richmond)
Jeanne Mancini, President of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund
Victoria Cobb, President of The Family Foundation
Olivia Gans Turner, President of the Virginia Society for Human Life

*Additional speakers will be announced as April 27th approaches.

WHEN:

11:00 a.m.—Virginia March for Life Rally begins
12:00 p.m.—Virginia March for Life begins

WHERE:

The rally will be held on the Virginia Capitol Building steps, 1000 Bank St, Richmond, VA 23219-3673.

The IMPACT of the March for Life

Were you able to join us at the 2022 March for Life on January 21st?

Whether you marched in person or virtually, the March for Life remains the largest annual human rights protest in the world. Because of your support, we were tens of thousands strong in 2022, a pivotal year for the pro-life movement!

This year’s march was potentially the most important one yet. With Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health Organization set to be decided by the Supreme Court this year and Senate Bill 8 being upheld in Texas, we march with the energized hope that Roe vs. Wade could fall in the near future, returning abortion legislation to the states.

The pro-life movement is on the brink of history and the media knows it!

See what they’re saying by clinking the images below.

 

Our president, Jeanne Mancini, also joined Rachel Campos-Duffy on Fox News the morning of the March for Life to discuss its importance.

Even though the national March for Life falls most prominently in the public eye, we must continue marching every day of the year, in all corners of the United States. Our state march program is critical to this. Our goal is to make abortion unthinkable and that starts with support from the states.

We are working aggressively toward our goal of being in 50 states in the next 7 years — will you help us by supporting our state march program?

GET INVOLVED!

Thank you for your continued support. We are thankful to be working with you to bring an end to abortion.

Let’s continue to build a culture of life!
