Thursday, November 6, 2025 - Michigan March for Life - Lansing
We are excited to officially announce the next MI March for Life. Please clear your calendars for November 6, 2025! We are honored that this march will be in partnership with the national March for Life again. (Please note, the March must take place on a weekday for schools busing students and on a Thursday, so the march can take place while our state legislature is in session.)
We thank everyone who joined us last fall for the first-ever MI March for Life in Lansing, Michigan. It was a huge success with thousands of Michiganders marching on the first anniversary of Proposal 3 passing.
More details to come as we are in the early stages of planning.
