Why March on Friday, October 6, 2023
We want the Ohio March for Life – being held on Friday, October 6th, 2023 in Columbus, OH- to be the biggest pro-life advocacy event that our state’s capital has ever seen! We are focusing on making a statement in support of life that will be heard loud and clear by our legislators.
