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.

Travel
Airports
The most convenient way to get to D.C. is by flying here. There are two airports serving the D.C area, both are Metro accessible:
- Washington Dulles Airport—in Dulles, VA: an easy 25-mile drive from downtown D.C.
- Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport—in Crystal City, VA: just 5 miles from downtown D.C.
Buses
Charter buses are also a great way to get to D.C. However, they present certain parking problems and do require permits. Charter buses can be parked at the following locations: Union Station, RFK Stadium, or the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception.
Metro
Whether you want to do some sight-seeing or come straight to the March, the easiest way to get around D.C. is through our extensive Metro system. Gathering with your fellow pro-life marchers in D.C. is easy. On the day of the March itself, simply take the metro to one of the three stops within an easy walking distance from the rallying location: Federal Triangle, Smithsonian, Metro Center.
LODGING
There are many hotels to choose from in downtown D.C. and the surrounding area. The Renaissance D.C. Downtown Hotel serves as the Host Hotel for the March for Life.
The Renaissance D.C. Downtown Hotel is only 5 miles from Ronald Reagan Washington National airport, and an easy 25-mile drive from Washington Dulles Airport. The March for Life has a guaranteed group rate at the Renaissance and rooms blocked for the nights of January 22—24, 2020.

EVENTS
Pre-rally Concert
Join before the March for Life Rally begins for a morning of music and life! The concert will begin on the National Mall at 11 a.m. We will be announcing the performer later this summer.
Rally and March
This is the main event! The March for Life Rally kicks off at noon at 12th St. on the National Mall. Immediately following the Rally—usually around 1 p.m.—we march peacefully up Constitution Ave. After marching, consider attending the Silent No More testimonies outside the U.S. Supreme Court, or advocating for life to your Representative or Senators.
Capitol Hill 101
Capitol Hill 101 helps marchers learn the ins and outs of pro-life lobbying and dive more deeply into the year’s theme. After this event, you’ll be equipped with the tools you need to return to your community and make a difference for life.
Expo
The March for Life Expo is a great opportunity for you to connect with a whole host of pro-life organizations and ministries.
Rose Dinner
An evening of inspiration and fellowship, the Rose Dinner is the perfect way to conclude your March for Life experience in our Nation’s Capital.
