- Tag your local news station on Twitter/Facebook, or national news stations as well.
- Post a video or email to info@marchforlife.org of you or your group sharing #WhyWeMarch.
- Facebook Live
- This is a new tool that allows Facebook users to livestream events, and these videos reach a much larger group of people than regular Facebook posts – this is a great opportunity to show the truth of the March for Life!
- Pro-life policy
- Now more than ever, it is important that our lawmakers hear from pro-life Americans – especially young people! In addition to social media messages, we need every March for Life participant to send a message to their Congressman and Senators asking them to prioritize pro-life policies in the new Congress.
- Simply text MARCH4LIFE to 99-000 and you’ll receive a text back with a link to send a quick pro-life message to your lawmakers.
