WASHINGTON (DC News Now) -- Thousands are expected to gather in the nation's capital for the annual March for Life. The event is set to take place on Friday, Jan. 24, at around 11 a.m. at the Washington Monument. The large crowd will then march down Constitutional Avenue towards the Capitol. Each January, the organization assembles in Washington, D.C. to advocate against abortions and celebrate life. This is the largest anti-abortion demonstration, according to the March for Life website. Trump pardons two former DC officers convicted in 2020 murder case For more than 50 years, the March for Life has unified pro-life advocates. The organization's website noted that the goal is "to not only change laws at the state and federal level, but to change the culture to ultimately make abortion unthinkable." In June of 2022, the United States Supreme Court overturned the Roe. v. Wade and ended the constitutional right to an abortion. The decision was upheld from the ruling in the Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization case, leaving abortion rights in the hands of the state. March for Life announced the theme for its 2025 rally is "Life: Why We March."
