2024 State Marches for Life — When, Where and How to Join

by Emily Washburn | February 20, 2024 | Life

Thousands of people participated in the nation’s annual March for Life last month, braving snow and wind in Washington D.C. to show legislators that Americans support a culture of life.

Though the national march has passed, pro-lifers can show their support by participating in a state march.

March for Life began hosting state marches after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in 2022. “By marching in state capitals across the country, [pro-lifers] show their local leaders that we the people want protective, life-affirming laws for both the unborn and their mothers,” reads the organization’s website.

This year, successful events have already been held in Indiana, Kansas and Kentucky. Scroll down for information about the eleven remaining marches, starting with one held tomorrow in Virginia:
