Why March on Wednesday, April 27, 2022
The Virginia March for Life is the biggest gathering of pro-life Virginians in our Commonwealth! As the abortion industry receives more money than ever through taxpayer dollars, now is the time to stand and boldly share the beautiful message of life. We will be marching on the day of the 2022 Reconvened Session, commonly referred to as “Veto” day. This day will be a pivotal moment to use our voices which cannot be ignored as we march around the Virginia Capitol to make a strong statement in support of life.
