Frequently asked questions
Why March on November 8, 2023
The rally (11 AM) and march (12 noon) will take place on Wednesday, November 8th, because both the Michigan House and Senate will be in session in Lansing- but more than that, because it is the anniversary of the passing of the brutal, dehumanizing Proposition 3. After we have seen a wave of exciting pro-life legislation across the states, now is a great time to continue the momentum and show our state lawmakers support for protecting the sanctity of life in Michigan.
