Our friends at Arizona Right to Life and Life Educational Corporation invite you to join thousands of others for a two-hour festival of life: "Mission Possible: Agents of Change." This joyful event will include energizing music, vendors, dynamic speakers, personal stories and an opportunity to be part of the growing effort to support women & their children.
Here are the details:
Each year, thousands of Americans across the country gather to honor the victims of the tragic January 22, 1973 Supreme Court Roe v Wade decision. "Mission Possible: Agents of Change" is designed to educate, motivate and mobilize Arizonans around the battle for life. The event will be held This Sunday, January 21, 2007 at Steele Indian School Park, beginning at 1:25pm.Because this event is both a ceremony commemorating the lives lost and affected by abortion and a time to show our support for the sanctity of life, we approach the occasion with sadness, compassion, commitment and resolve to make a difference to change our culture and laws to respect life.
Mission Objective: March
We will march from the Xavier College Prep School parking lot (7th Street & Highland) to Steele Indian School Park. The Life March will follow the route of South on 7th Street and into the East entrance of the park. During the march, we will carry signs and banners that share the message of stopping abortion and choosing life. We also encourage churches to carry their banners while singing and praying along the route. The March begins at 1:30pm. If you are unable to join us for the March, please feel free to meet us at the park at 2:00pm.
