Hi John, It's been an action-packed week for Oregon Right to Life! From Sunday through Wednesday, twelve amazing young pro-life advocates participated in our youth leadership retreat, Launch. As you probably know, Launch is an immersive program that gives students the practical skills and experience they need to lead the next generation of the pro-life movement. Our students had a great time! We're so proud of them and can't wait to see what they do next. Launch wrapped up on Wednesday with a trip to the state Capitol in Salem. There, our students joined other pro-life advocates who took part in our Pro-Life Lobby Day. At Lobby Day, Oregonians met with their legislators, advocated for pro-life policies, and made sure that every office in the Capitol heard the pro-life message. It’s truly been an incredible week – and there’s so much ahead! Now, our team is excited to gear up for the annual Oregon March for Life in May. On Saturday, May 17th, pro-life Oregonians will gather and march outside the state Capitol, demonstrating to our lawmakers that we want protections for the unborn and real supports for moms and families. Here in Oregon, state law still allows abortion up to the moment of birth, a radical position at odds with the majority of Americans. So, this May, let’s get together and make our voices heard! We'll be sending more information about the March in the coming weeks. For now, thank you for your commitment to the most vulnerable and for being a part of these important pro-life events. Because everyone deserves an advocate, Lois Anderson More Pro-Life Events: |
