March for Life Theme Announced; Dodgers Legend Tabbed as Keynote Speaker

It won’t be long until the annual March for Life takes place in Washington, DC, on Friday, January 22nd. It will fall on the 54th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, and the fifth one since the Dobbs decision that sent the abortion debate back to the states.  The foundation held a press conference today announcing the theme. It is “The Truth Is Pro-Life.”

“The truth cannot be denied, and that’s why we have kept our message so simple and bold this year,” said Hayden Sledge, chief of staff for the March for Life.

“Truth doesn’t shout. It’s just there, waiting to be seen,” she said. “Truth has a way of bringing people together. That’s why for more than 50 years we’ve kept showing up to defend that truth. Some things remain true no matter the culture, politics, or the year. The truth is pro-life.”

“Today, it’s hard to figure out what the truth is. Not because it isn’t there, but because of the distractions. But sometimes all you have to do is look closer, get rid of the noise, the chaos, the confusion, and see what’s really there.”

In addition to announcing the theme for the peaceful rally in Washington, DC, they also revealed their keynote speaker for the rally on the National Mall. They will rely on recently retired Los Angeles Dodgers pitcher Clayton Kershaw to share the message of life to the half a million marchers.

“I’m excited to get to be the speaker for the 2027 March for Life,” said Kershaw, while holding his 9-month-old daughter, Chloe, the youngest of his five children. “She’s excited for us to be there, too, and we can’t wait.”

The time to attend the largest annual grassroots gathering is now.
