Buses will be departing the Diocese of Camden on Jan. 20 for the annual March for Life in Washington, D.C.
The theme of this year’s event is “Next Steps: Marching in a Post-Roe America.” This is the 50th anniversary of the March for Life; it’s the first march to be held after the U.S. Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion.
