FOR LIFE
Will You March for Life?
The right to life is a human right. Our defense of that right is a joyful witness to the beauty and dignity of every human person.
The March for Life is an inspiring, peaceful, vibrant, and joy-filled rally of women, men, young people, and children from all across the country. Every year, tens of thousands of pro-lifers converge on the National Mall and march on Capitol Hill on the anniversary of the Supreme Court’s 1973 Roe v. Wade ruling which legalized abortion in all 50 states. It’s the largest annual human rights demonstration in the world. But this is not just a protest… TOGETHER, WE GATHER TO CELEBRATE LIFE. We celebrate each and every life, from the moment of conception. We envision a world where every life is celebrated, valued, and protected.
Together, we GATHER TO CELEBRATE LIFE
We celebrate life from the moment of conception to the moment of natural death, and every moment in between.
We envision a world where these moments are celebrated, valued, and protected by everybody—both in the private sector and in the public sphere.

DEAR MARCHERS
You are the heart of the pro-life movement; the best “ambassadors” for life! We are so very grateful for your witness and want to do everything possible to support and protect you as you stand up for the life at the 2022 March for Life.
Never forget you are a walking testimony for life and the pro-life movement. Your actions are an incredibly powerful declaration about the truth and beauty of life, and the inherent dignity of each human person.
We are proud of your witness and we need you! But, you should be aware that because of your courageous stance for life, you are held to higher standards. Your behavior is scrutinized, and you are targeted.
Please keep these higher standards in mind throughout the entirety of your visit to our nation’s capitol for the March for Life. You should be guarded and know any moment of your trip could be captured on video.
Yet be not afraid! You are doing exactly what you should be doing! We need you, the unborn need you, and the world needs your positive and hopeful witness! “Be who you are and you will set the world on fire.”
