March for Life 2025 Rally to Focus on “Life: Why We March” Theme

Despite recent winter storms, prolife advocates are preparing for a pivotal moment as the annual March for Life returns to Washington, D.C. on January 24, 2025. This year’s theme, “Life: Why We March,” arrives at a crucial time for the movement, two years after the landmark Dobbs decision.

The theme encourages pro-life advocates to draw renewed energy by reflecting on a fundamental truth: every human life — including the unborn and their mothers — has dignity and deserves protection. According to March for Life organizers, this message invites all Americans of good will to unite around this basic principle.

In the post-Dobbs era, the prolife community has faced significant challenges, including aggressive pro-abortion legislation at state and federal levels, attacks on pregnancy resource centers, and battles against misinformation regarding state prolife protections that permit life-saving medical treatment for pregnant women.

Renewed energy and focus

“During 52-plus years of marching, the prolife community has seen countless highs and lows, but the value of vulnerable unborn children and their mothers has not changed,” said Jeanne Mancini, president of the March for Life Education and Defense Fund. “Neither can our resolve to protect and provide for these vulnerable lives change, even in the face of setbacks and attacks from those who tragically fail to recognize their equal dignity. We hope that this year’s theme can be a source of renewed energy and focus so needed for this moment.

“Many in our nation see this issue as a cause that divides. May our humble voices and peaceful presence serve as a reminder of the beauty and dignity of every human life, and as an invitation to all Americans to come together in recognition of this truth and to serve the most vulnerable.”

Professional surfer and inspirational speaker Bethany Hamilton will deliver the keynote address, with the Unspoken Band scheduled to perform at the march.
