Dear John, ​

With the Oregon March for Life, Together We Advocate conference, Launch student leadership retreat, and the short legislative session, these past few months have been a whirlwind! Now that we have a second to catch our breath, we want to take a moment to reflect.

This year, over 3,000 people gathered for the Oregon March for Life to advocate for the most vulnerable in our society. We heard from a variety of leaders of the pro-life movement in Oregon. But most importantly, you showed up to stand for life.

At Together We Advocate, we had some spectacular sessions with local and national leaders in the pro-life movement. We heard Christina Bennett's story and various ways we can make a difference for life in our communities. Billy Valentine and Kevin Theriot presented what Dobbs could mean for the future of abortion in the United States. And David Bereit closed, reminding us that we were made for this moment!

We had 15 students attend our Launch student leadership retreat this year. They learned from several presenters and even got to practice their apologetics skills on a college campus! It's so inspiring to see the next generation of pro-life growing in their ability to advocate for the most vulnerable in our society.

Even though they've just passed, we can hardly wait for these events next year. In fact, we've already nailed down some of the dates! So you can mark your calendars with the Oregon March for Life on January 29, 2023, and the Together We Advocate on March 4, 2023. We can't wait to see you there.

Because everyone deserves an advocate,

Lois Anderson
Executive Director
