FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
March 18, 2026
HARTFORD, CT – Today thousands will gather to rally and march at the state capitol on behalf of babies and their mothers in Connecticut. Hosted by March for Life, the Family Institute of Connecticut, and the Connecticut Catholic Conference, you won’t want to miss covering the fifth annual March for Life.
WHAT: 2026 Connecticut March for Life
WHEN: TODAY, Wednesday, March 18, 2026 – Rally begins at 11:30AM with March immediately following at 12:30PM
WHERE: Connecticut State Capitol, 210 Capitol Ave, Hartford, CT 06106
“We at March for Life look forward to standing in solidarity with pro-lifers from across Connecticut to present an alternative to the extreme abortion policies that currently exist in the state,” said Jennie Bradley Lichter, President of March for Life. “Mothers and their unborn children deserve real protection and support that affirms and respects life. We invite everyone who agrees to join us in Hartford as we proclaim clearly and confidently that life is a gift – no matter the circumstances.”
Chris Healy, Executive Director of the Connecticut Catholic Conference, commented:
“Over the last five years, the March for Life has grown to be the biggest pro-life event in Connecticut. The size of the march is a clear indication to our elected officials that a large number of Connecticut residents are strongly pro-life and will keep proclaiming their message. The Connecticut March for Life sends a clear message to all our elected officials; to those who oppose our message it clearly says we are not going away. To the elected officials that support life, it gives them the support they need to carry on the fight for the unborn.”
Peter Wolfgang, President of the Family Institute of Connecticut, added:
“On March 18th, we will march with others at the largest and most diverse gathering held at the Connecticut State Capitol each year. Pro-lifers are a strong coalition of people from every walk of life: Black, Hispanic and White, male and female, Democrat and Republican, believers and non-believers. Each person will be making a sacrifice of their time to be a witness for the unborn and to urge legislators to adopt laws that reflect the true beauty of choosing life. We are proud at the Family Institute of Connecticut Action to co-host such an event.”
