- Walk for Life West Coast in San Francisco, CA – January 27, 2018
- The mission of the Walk for Life West Coast is to change the perceptions of a society that thinks abortion is an answer. Abortion does violence to women and to their children, both physically and emotionally. We deserve better than abortion. The goal of the Walk for Life West Coast is to to be a vocal and visual message that people of the West Coast stand for life. To reach out to women harmed by abortion. To inform society of the damage done to women by abortion.
- Students for Life Conference West Coast – San Francisco, CA – January 28, 2018
- Students for Life National Conference West Coast is a jam-packed day full of seminars and talks on what it will take to win the battle against abortion, apologetics, how to lessen the demand for abortion, and difficult topics such as how to deal with an unplanned pregnancy on campus. Speakers and presenters will include Abby Johnson with And Then There Were None, Kristan Hawkins with Students for Life, Casey Mattox with Alliance Defending Freedom, and David Beriet – former CEO of 40 Days for Life.
- Evangelicals for Life in Washington, D.C. – January 18-20, 2018
- If you’re planning to participate in this year’s March for Life, I want to encourage you to think about making plans to attend the Evangelicals for Life conference.

- March for Life in Washington, D.C. – January 19, 2018
- Each year, the March for Life takes place in our Nation’s Capitol. The March for Life Rally will take place at noon on the National Mall. The March for Life Rally will take place at noon at 12th St. on the National Mall, in between Madison Drive and Jefferson Drive. Following the Rally, the March will begin on Constitution Avenue between 12th and 14th Streets at approximately 1:00 pm.
- Students for Life Conference East Coast – Upper Marlboro, MD – January 20, 2018
- The Students for Life National Conference East Coast is basically an event mirroring the West Coast Conference, but strategically occurring the day after the March for Life to enable people who are in town for the March for Life to attend this event easily as well. The lineup of speakers and workshops is essentially the same as the West Coast Conference. I had the opportunity to attend this event last year and it is well worth it. If you have never been you will be absolutely amazed at the number of young pro-lifers in attendance.
