WASHINGTON — The March for Life Education and Defense Fund Oct. 10 unveiled the theme for its upcoming event: “Every Life: Why We March.” The 52nd annual March for Life is scheduled for Jan. 24, just days after the winner of the 2024 presidential election will be inaugurated, and comes amid what the group’s president Jeanne Mancini described as a time of “confusion and erroneous messaging” about abortion. The theme, Mancini told reporters at a media briefing, was selected because the group believes “we really deeply want to do everything possible to encourage that we’re on the right side of history, that we’re in this for the long game, and that we need to lean in.” “Our theme is returning to the basics,” she said. Mancini added the Jan. 24 event will feature keynote speaker Bethany Hamilton, a professional surfer, author, and motivational speaker and its first female athlete to participate in that capacity.
