The event will be held on August 25, 2021, in Sacramento in front of the State Capitol. The rally will begin at 11:00 a.m. PT, followed by a march at 12:00 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n<p>The list of speakers has not yet been announced. The March for Life <a href=\"https:\/\/marchforlife.org\/california-march-for-life\/\">website<\/a> states that the goal of the event is to ensure every member of the legislature hears their message of love for preborn children and their mothers.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>READ:\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/silence-dissenters-california-pro-life-sidewalk\/\">An effort to \u2018silence dissenters\u2019: California targets pro-life sidewalk advocates<\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are delighted to partner with the California Family Council, a stellar pro-life organization in the state, to help plan and launch the first ever California March for Life. The march is an opportunity for California pro-lifers to unite and encourage state legislators to craft policies that respect the rights of the unborn,\u201d said Jeanne Mancini, President of March for Life Defense and Education Fund, in a <a href=\"https:\/\/marchforlife.org\/first-annual-california-march-for-life-2\/\">statement<\/a>. \u201cEvery human life has dignity, and our laws must reflect that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The march was originally scheduled for June 23, 2020, but was postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. In lieu of the march, an educational webinar titled, <a href=\"https:\/\/marchforlife.org\/sacramento-101-a-pro-life-guide-to-lobbying-in-california\/\"><i>Sacramento 101<\/i><\/a>, was held in May 2020 to present information on California pro-life advocacy.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In addition, the March for Life in Washington, D.C., which normally draws hundreds of thousands of pro-lifers to the nation\u2019s capital every January, was held <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/march-life-virtual-event-only\/\">virtually<\/a> in 2021 due to the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>California is a notorious hotbed for pro-abortion policies. Live Action News previously <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/california-governor-no-kill-state-animals-people\/\">reported<\/a> that according to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute, the former research arm of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/what-we-do\/investigations\/abortioncorporation\/\">Planned Parenthood<\/a>, at least 15% of all abortions in the country are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.guttmacher.org\/fact-sheet\/state-facts-about-abortion-california\">committed in California<\/a>. The number, however, could be even higher than that, as California chooses to opt out of reporting its abortion statistics to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.<\/p>\n<p>Mancini told <a href=\"https:\/\/fox40.com\/news\/california-connection\/march-for-life-event-coming-to-california-this-month\/amp\/\">Fox40<\/a> that conversations about bringing official pro-life marches to the state level spurred a state march initiative and partnership between the California Family Council and March for Life.<\/p>\n<p>Jonathan Keller, President of California Family Council\u200b, said, \u201cCalifornia claims to be the epicenter of the \u2018progressive\u2019 agenda, but when it comes to treating every human life with dignity and respect our Golden State has a tarnished record. That\u2019s why California Family Council is thrilled to partner with our friends at the national March for Life to host a peaceful gathering on August 25 on the steps of the Capitol. We invite all people to join us in celebrating God\u2019s gift of life from conception to its natural end.
