Below are a few tips to make sure you’re ready for the 2018 March for Life.

See you on January 19th!

1. Be prepared for cold weather!
   • Check the weather forecast before you’ll leave, but bring your warmest winter coat, no matter what!
   • Wear layers – you can add or remove depending on the temperature.
   • Bring hot hands for pockets, gloves, or boots.
   • Definitely bring gloves and hats, and wear comfortable, water-proof shoes.
2. Stay connected with your group members.
   • The crowds are very large, so try and stay physically connected to your group as much as possible.
   • Make sure everyone has at least one leader’s cell phone number.
   • Give everyone a map – you can print off paper copies OR download the March for Life app.
   • Inform everyone of time and meeting place after the march is finished.
3. Know your transportation options.
   • Again, if you’re with a large group, make sure everyone is informed.
   • If you’re traveling with a small group, we recommend using public transportation.
   • Buy your metro cards ahead of time, and know the stations you are using.
4. Bring signs!
   • Be creative, and let the world know why we march!
   • Check out a few ideas HERE.
   • Even if you forget or can’t bring signs, many groups will have signs to hand out on the National Mall.
5. Get ready to document your experience!
   • It’s important to show “why we march” – beforehand, post pictures, messages of why you will be marching for life with #whywemarch.
   • With the technology and social media options we have, every marcher can be a “citizen journalist.”
   • During the event, post pictures and videos of the crowd with #whywemarch & #marchforlife.

The March for Life is an incredible opportunity to share the truth about life and communicate the inherent dignity of the human person.

If you’re looking for inspiration for signage to bring, check out a few of our favorites from the 2017 March for Life!

We also encourage you to think creatively about loving and truthful messages to share #WhyWeMarch.

(p.s. if you aren’t able to bring homemade signage, many groups provide free signs at the rally.)

As we prepare to receive Christ anew this Christmas I want to wish you and your families a beautiful, grace filled holy season!

This is the time of year that we particularly treasure our family, friends, and loved ones. It’s the time of year that we celebrate the ultimate gift of love that came to us in the form of a tiny baby in a manger.

“The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” John 1:5

Love truly does save lives.

We are excited to reflect more upon this truth, our 2018 theme, in the coming weeks and months.

Do you have a personal pro-life story that reflects “Love Saves Lives”?

If you’d like to share your story so that it might encourage and inspire others, you can submit it on the March for Life website HERE.

>>>> Read Shelley’s story, “I Was An Unplanned Pregnancy.”

To continue to change our culture for life, we must communicate and live out this truth of life-saving love, and the spirit of the Christmas season, each and every day.

Thank you for all of your sacrifices for life. Have a blessed Christmas!

A few years ago, the president of NARAL Pro-Choice America — a group that is credited with being the architect of legal abortion — happened to see the crowds at the March for Life. Her reaction was: “There are so many of them, and they are so young,” and she subsequently resigned, realizing that NARAL was failing.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful for every American to see the incredible representation of our country’s pro-life consensus at the March for Life?

Get started by inviting your lawmakers to the March for Life on Friday, January 19, 2018!

Whether your Congressman and Senators are pro-life or not, it’s important for them to witness the March for Life, and to see the strength and beauty of our cause.

We gather in the public square to call for a culture of life and work towards and end to abortion.

This is #whywemarch and we want Congress to know it!

We hope you’ll join us at the 45th Annual March for Life on Friday, January 19th, 2018 to make a stand for what’s most important.

>>>> Please take a moment to invite your legislators to witness the March for Life and share with your friends on social media.
