Thousands are expected to take part in March for Life UK’s online Lifestream 20 event tomorrow (Saturday 13 June 2020).
Attendance and momentum has been building since the UK launched its first March for Life, in 2012.
Last year almost 5,000 people gathered outside the UK Parliament in London.
However, in response to the coronavirus pandemic, this year’s event has been taken online.
Lifestream 20 will include testimonies, live Q&A’s, and workshops from some of the world’s best pro-life speaks as well as short films, music, and much more.
A concurrent stream will also carry age-appropriate material for younger children including book-readings, music and more.
For full details of the event, register for an information pack on the March for Life UK website or visit their Facebook page.
