March for Life Announces Details for Rally & March on January 22, 2015
Washington, D.C.—The March for Life Education and Defense Fund has announced the details for the 2015 March for Life. “Every Life is a Gift” will be the theme of the 2015 March for Life, and seeks to draw attention to the pre-born populations that are at the greatest risk for abortion: those who receive a prenatal disability diagnosis. The march will take place on January 22, 2015. The day’s events will begin with a rally on the National Mall, which will be followed by a march to the U.S. Supreme Court to hear testimony from women who regret their abortion. Radio and television outlets are welcome to broadcast live from the rally event. A media tent will be provided for on-site broadcasts.

The March for Life Education and Defense Fund has launched several new digital tools for the 2015 March for Life – the March for Life Movement Map, a Trip Finder, and the March for Life mobile app. The Map, debuted on December 4th, seven weeks prior to the 2015 event, shows the nationwide support for the March for Life, and allows marchers to share their participation on social media networks. The Trip Finder allows interested marchers to connect with trips from their local area, and the updated March for Life app, available on iTunes and Google Play, is an all-inclusive tool for March for Life planning, participation, as well as pro-life resources.
The March for Life in Washington, D.C., began as a small demonstration on January 22, 1974, the first anniversary of the now-infamous Supreme Court decisions in Roe v Wade and Doe v Bolton and rapidly grew to be the largest pro-life event in the world. The peaceful demonstration that has followed on this somber anniversary every year since is a witness to the truth concerning the greatest human rights violation of our time, legalized abortion on demand.
Jeanne Monahan-Mancini, President of March for Life Education and Defense Fund, is available for interviews. For more information or to schedule an interview, please contact Ryan Hughes at RHughes@SBPublicAffairs.com or (703) 739-5920.
