London: March for Life

The UK March For Life will take place on Saturday, 6 September in central London.

From 10am there will be stalls, a 'Pro-life Human Rights Summit' and prayers at the Emmanuel Centre in Masham Street. Mass will take place at 10.30am in Westminster Cathedral.

Following the morning events, the March itself will begin from the Emmanuel Centre at 1.30pm ending with a rally in Parliament Square.

Keynote speakers at the rally will include Carla Lockhart MP, Chair of the Pro-Life All-Party Parliamentary Group; Sara Spencer, a student midwife who was suspended for her pro-life views; Isabel Vaughan-Spruce, co-director of March for Life UK, who has been arrested twice and is now being investigated again for silently praying near abortion clinics; and abortion survivor Josiah Presley.

The March for Life began in Birmingham in 2013 with just a few hundred attendees. Since then, the March has grown steadily, so much so that it relocated to London in 2018 and has been held there ever since. The March draws pro-life people from all over the country and gathers together pro-life groups to showcase their work and galvanise support. The March ends with a rally outside the Houses of Parliament and acts as a powerful demonstration to UK lawmakers that many members of the public want to see a change in our abortion laws.

Spokesperson for Right To Life UK, Catherine Robinson, said: "We encourage all those who value life to come to the March for Life UK and make your voice heard. We look forward to meeting you there. Look out for us at the Emmanuel Centre before the March - you'll recognise us by our orange balloons!"
