LOBBY WITH US
POST-ROE, state laws matter more than ever. THAT’S WHY WE MARCH IN SPRINGFIELD, AND WHY LOBBYING IS SO IMPORTANT.
Right after the Illinois Pro-Life March ends, we’re speaking directly with our lawmakers at the Illinois Capitol. Whether this is your first or twentieth time lobbying, we encourage you to take time to speak with your Illinois State Representative and State Senator.
bus information
Buses will be provided parking options in lots within walking distance of the Capitol building. As we expect many buses and want to be sure to accommodate all groups, we ask that all buses be registered in advance using the form below.
