Attend the Jan. 21, 2022 Georgia March For Life & Memorial Service at Atlanta's Liberty Plaza across from the GA State Capitol
Join pro-personhood advocates from across the Southeast gathering at 11:45 AM (EST) at Liberty Plaza on Friday, January 21, 2022 to mourn the more than 60 million children denied the chance at life, and to pray for the women and men whose lives have been damaged by abortion. Families, friends, whole communities have been hurt by abortion – join us as we gather to pray for an end to the terrible scourge of abortion.
“The blood-stained statistics on abortion remain horrific,” said Georgia Right to Life (GRTL) President Ricardo Davis. “But we need to look past the numbers and see the humanity of each person affected by this tragedy. They are our family members, co-workers, fellow students and church members. Whether abortion is forced on a helpless victim as we see in human trafficking, or occurs for another reason, abortion is an evil that has this nation in a death grip that must be broken. The blood of these innocent precious children cries out for justice. I ask all pro-life supporters to join GRTL at the 2022 Georgia March for Life, in recommitting to the cause of Personhood--protecting those who can’t protect themselves."
Gather at Liberty Plaza at 11:45 AM (EST) for a memorial service that includes a pro-life prayer service; praise and song; followed by the keynote address. The 2022 Master of Ceremonies will be Endia Bass, and our keynote speakers will be From Lamb To Lion Ministry.
After the memorial service at 1:00 PM, thousands of pro-life Georgians will join in a one-mile silent march against the tragic loss of life since Roe v. Wade at the 2022 Georgia March for Life.
In the days and weeks ahead, please make plans to join us at the 2022 Georgia March for Life. Be counted and REGISTER as one of thousands who cares enough to join others to silently pray and walk through the streets of Atlanta as we remember the millions of pre-born babies lost to abortion.
