CHICAGO, IL

The team at Students for Life of America is assembling pro-life activists to launch the multi-faceted Pro-Life Future (PLF) Campaign in 19 select cities.

In Chicago, our goal is to directly reduce the abortion rate by increasing awareness of non-violent abortion alternatives, decreasing support of the predatory abortion industry, and changing hearts and minds about abortion. Here’s the plan to unify pro-life advocates in Chicago...

  • Alert the community about the dangers of the abortion industry by... Knocking on our neighbors’ doors
  • Compassionately inform real women in crisis that they have other options by... Engaging in sidewalk advocacy
  • Mobilize people of faith to take action in defense of the preborn by... Empowering our local churches
  • Equip pro-life advocates in Chicago to speak up against abortion by... Organizing community events

Sign up today to get involved with the Pro-Life Future Campaign in Chicago! If you’re closely affiliated with a church, check out our church partnership program.
