The Pro-Life Action League will hit the streets with the 24th annual “Face the Truth” Tour, running from June 9-17, which will visit busy intersections all over Chicagoland with a display that shows the beauty of life in the womb and exposes the violence of abortion.

The state of Illinois is in the grips of abortion extremism, as SB 1909 is on Governor Pritzker’s desk– a law which will muzzle pro-life pregnancy centers.

The Tour will visit three sites per day, from northwest suburbs like Arlington Heights and Palatine, down to south suburbs like Mokena and Flossmoor.

If you are unable to join the Tour, consider donating to this cause by clicking HERE.

40 Days for Life is an internationally coordinated 40-day campaign that aims to end abortion locally through prayer and fasting, community outreach, and a peaceful all-day vigil in front of abortion businesses.

Their new campaign is beginning September 28th. The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is a focused, 40-day, non-stop, round-the-clock prayer vigil outside a single Planned Parenthood center or other abortion facility in your community.

It is a peaceful and educational presence. Those who are called to stand witness during this 24-hour-a-day presence send a powerful message to the community about the tragic reality of abortion. It also serves as a call to repentance for those who work at the abortion center and those who patronize the facility.

Learn more about how you can participate at 40daysforlife.com.

Nine years ago when a hundred and fifty people walked at the March for Life Chicago, it was hard to imagine that they’d grow to thousands of people flooding the streets and echoing off the skyscrapers in celebration of Life.

But this year instead of a march they are planning a parade of cars.

Decorate your cars and line up at St. John Cantius Church (825 N. Carpenter St. in Chicago) on the Northside starting at noon. Bring diapers to drop off at the end of the parade at Southside Pregnancy Center (3759 W 95th St. Evergreen Park) at 2:30 PM.

The parade begins at 1:00 PM.

More details can be found HERE.

If you’re not from the Chicago area, check HERE to see if there’s an event near you.

“…if My people who are called by My name will humble themselves,
and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways,
then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.”
~2 Chronicles 7:14

A Rally for Jesus will be held at the Calvary Church parking lot. All are welcome! Speakers will lead us in praise and worship, prayer and repentance.

                  Orland Park, IL 60467

Sponsored by Illinois Family Institute

WHO:

• John Cabello – State Representative (68th Dist.) and Detective, who is a tireless defender of conservatism in Springfield

• Jim Sacia – served 30 years in law enforcement, 28 of those being a FBI special agent in Rockford, and then 11 years as an Illinois State Representative (89th Dist.)

WHAT:

• Illinois Back the Blue Rally – organized by Concerned Citizens for America of Northern Illinois and Illinois Family Institute

WHY:

• To support all men and women in law enforcement and the amazing, vital, and dangerous work they do to protect our communities and country from lawlessness and evil.

• “We support all the men and women who serve in law enforcement and the amazing, vital, and dangerous work they do to protect our communities from lawlessness and evil.

• Now is the time to raise our voices and been seen standing not only in support of law enforcement, but opposed to forces at work who demonize all who serve to protect us, our county, and its Constitution.

• These forces include the complicit media, who have crafted a faux narrative of systemic racism to provide cover for their violent pawns uses to incite terror in their attempt to fundamentally change this nation from a God-fearing nation that protects our natural rights and focuses on individual responsibility, into an Orwellian society, shaped into their socialist and communist ideals where there is no liberty and Government is god,” said Concerned Citizens for America of Northern Illinois.

We believe that to minimize confrontations with the police, eliminate visits to the abortion clinics, school dropouts and delinquency, incarcerations, as well as the illicit use of drugs and drug suppliers, we must focus on combating the underlying problem–the dysfunction and disintegration of the Black Family. Because, if “Black Lives” really matter, we must commit to building our communities with a legacy of strong family values.

Speakers include Dr. Eric Wallace, Pastor Ceasar LeFlore, Dr. Richard Mantoan, David Smith, Pastor Robert M. Foster, MD; Max Solomon, and many others.

There also is a reception at the Aid For Women that starts at Noon and ends at 1 PM.

The Aid for Women is also accepting the following donations on this day:

-Baby Wipes
– Diapers (all sizes NB to 6)
– New Baby Blankets
– New Baby Clothes (sizes NB to 1 year, especially boys clothes)

We want to extend a personal invitation to each of you, to join our families for 2020 ICHE Legislative Days on March 30 & 31 in Springfield. It’s a two day educational smorgasbord for your homeschooling children: history, current events, political science, speech, interpersonal communication, P.E., architecture, religion, art, law, and the list goes on and on… Add on fellowship with like-minded believers; it doesn’t get much better than this.

As wonderful as these things are, however, they are not the main purpose of our gathering. ICHE Legislative Days, especially Cherry Pie Day, is a proactive effort to remind our legislators–as well as our governor–that homeschoolers are very, very politically active, and we zealously protect our hard-fought-for homeschooling rights. It is a worthwhile investment in our children’s and grandchildren’s lives, as we remember that is much easier to keep our liberties than regain them once they are lost.

Plan to march with us through the streets of Chicago once again!

We mark with deep sadness the great tragedy of the legalization of abortion in the United States along with the devastating social, moral, and legal consequences that have followed. Our vision is that, marching together in hope, we call upon religious, civic, and community leaders to renew every effort to build a nation that affirms the authentic dignity of women and men, the gift of children, and a culture dedicated to protecting life at every stage of development in law and love.

Our purpose is to provide an annual public event composed of people from diverse ethnic, social, and religious backgrounds dedicated to defending and protecting all human life.

“The fight for the right to life is not the cause of a special few, but the cause of every man,
woman and child who cares not only about his or her own family,
but the whole family of man.” ~Dr. Mildred Jefferson, Pro-Life Activist & Heroine

“For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.”  Matthew 6:21

Where is your treasure?

With the passage of the Illinois Reproductive Health Law there was a blatant attempt to declare life worthless, having absolutely no value.  If life in the womb can be thrown away up until the moment of birth, then all life is made cheap, meaningless, and worthless.  Yet that same law has had an unintended effect;  we have seen an awakening of the pro-life community as never before.  We are rallying together, working to unite, combining our time, treasure, and talent for a common cause.  What about you?  If you treasure God’s gift of life, put your heart into it and unite with the Greater Chicago-land pro-life community for an afternoon you won’t soon forget!

Come get informed, get energized and bear witness that all human life from conception until natural death is a gift from God to be treasured.

– Morgan Jayne Hill, aka “Baby Mary Grace”, will offer her heartwarming journey from being abandoned in a dumpster to adoption into a loving home to finding out that she was the catalyst for Illinois’ Safe Haven Law – all before she turned 20 years old!
