"Pastor Walter Hoye embodies Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, standing up for the least of these, the vulnerable mothers and their babies." said Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
Pro-Life Unity President, Peter Shinn, Pastor Dion Evans, point man for the unjustly jailed Pastor Hoye, and Mrs. Lori Hoye, wife of Pastor Hoye will be speaking at the Press Conference along with other Pro-Life and Christian leaders.
Peter Shinn stated "Pastor Hoye stands on the front-lines of the battle for the unborn, risking his freedom, challenging pastors, preachers and church leaders everywhere to get involved in the Pro-Life movement and to oppose abortion. As Pastor Hoye preaches: " Like Ezekiel if we fail to warn the people of impending danger their blood will be on our hands"."
