\"students\"<\/a>

Teens working on their design at the “Pro-Life Bumper Sticker Design Contest” GFL sponsored at their 2012 TeenSpeak pro-life conference.<\/p><\/div>\n

1. Find your local pregnancy resource center and get involved.<\/strong> Volunteer to sort donations, counsel clients, or help with computers. Use your talents to help in any way you can! To find your local center, visit here<\/a> or here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

2. Go to one of Survivors pro-life “boot camps”.<\/strong> They’re offering two this year: one in Southern California and one in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Visit their brand-new website<\/a> to find out more about this incredible opportunity for training and activism.<\/p>\n

3. Create a presence outside your local abortion clinic.<\/strong>\u00a0Take friends and family with you and go as often as you can to sidewalk counsel and pray. You can chalk pro-life messages on the public sidewalk too. Reach out to women going inside, and even the clinic workers. Direct the workers to Abby Johnson’s organization, And Then There Were None<\/a>\u00a0(you can even print flyers to hand out to the clinic workers here<\/a>).<\/p>\n

4. Post pro-life news articles on social media.<\/strong>\u00a0Read up on articles here at Live Action News and other pro-life sites. Spread the word about our recent Inhuman investigation<\/a>. Get people talking about abortion and what they can do to stop it. Don’t be afraid to voice your opinion and expose the truth!<\/p>\n


\n\"roe-v-wade-shirt\"<\/a>5. Wear pro-life gear.<\/strong> This is another great way to spread a life-affirming message. Spark conversation with a t-shirt, hat, or even a tote bag.\u00a0Here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a>, and here<\/a> are great places to look for gear to wear!<\/p>\n

6. Fundraise for a pro-life organization.<\/strong> Try your hand at organizing a car wash, baby bottle coin drive, or even gathering items by holding a diaper or clothing drive.<\/p>\n

7. Read a pro-life book (or two or ten).<\/strong> Check out my 2013 list<\/a> here, and look for another summer reading list soon!<\/p>\n

8. Pass out pro-life literature in busy places in your community.<\/strong> Order Live Action’s Advocate<\/a>, or other materials<\/a> to help spread the message that life is beautiful!<\/p>\n

9. Still need a job? Check out these pro-life organizations<\/a> looking to hire.<\/strong><\/p>\n

10. Make plans for your pro-life club for next school year.<\/strong> Don’t have one? Create it<\/a>! Already have one? Start planning events, meetings, and speakers. Find a local 40 Days for Life campaign to join, and make this the BEST year ever for your club.<\/p>\n

It’s time to shake up your summer and get those pro-life hands working in this crazy awesome movement for life.\u00a0Have more ideas for pro-life ways to keep busy? Leave them in the comments section and let the summer begin!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
