“Life: Why We March which reminds us of the basic truth that every life has inherent human dignity from the start.”
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The March for Life Education and Defense Fund announced the speakers for the 52nd annual March for Life, taking place on January 24th, 2025. Speakers include Florida Governor Ron DeSantis; Congressman Chris Smith (R-NJ); Bethany Hamilton, professional surfer, mother, and pro-life advocate; Dr. Catherine Wheeler; Josiah Presley, Abortion Survivor; Lila Rose, President of Live Action; Beverly Jacobson, CEO of Mama Bear Care; and Jennie Bradley Lichter, President-Elect of the March for Life.
This year’s theme, ‘Life: Why we March’ focuses on returning to our roots to acknowledge the humanity of each person, while also highlighting the need to protect and support both mother and child through the thousands of resources available to them. Our goal this year is to remind and reignite everyone — politicians, legislators, families, and women – in the truth that every life, unborn and born, has inherent dignity, meaning, and value, and as such is always worth fighting for. Our speakers will serve as witnesses to emphasize the joy and beauty of life and the dedication of the pro-life movement.
“We are overjoyed to welcome these inspiring pro-life leaders at this year’s 52nd March for Life. For the past 52 years, the March for Life has powerfully witnessed to the tragedy of abortion, while calling for stronger protections for women and the unborn. This year’s speakers will address the 2025 theme—‘Life: Why We March’ which reminds us of the basic truth that every life has inherent human dignity from the start.” Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life Education and Defense Fund.
“I’m thrilled to be joining the March for Life at this pivotal moment, and I couldn’t be more excited to share the stage this year with dedicated elected officials, pro-life leaders, and other great Americans who will share their testimonies about why they fight for Life. There is nothing else like the March for Life, and this year’s lineup is a reminder of the enduring strength of our movement.” Jennie Bradley Lichter, President-Elect of March for Life Education and Defense Fund
