Is the March just for Catholic men?
No. This initiative is led by Catholic men, and we do expect a big turnout from fellow Catholics, but we absolutely encourage all men of good will to join us for the March, and all women and families to join us at the Rally. WE MUST WORK TOGETHER to abolish the ongoing, daily mass murder of abortion. Join us!
